Each CV has a protective rubber boot that needs to be inspected for wear and damage and the CV joints themselves need to be cleaned and rebuilt periodically. We plan to show how to disassemble, clean, reassemble, lubricate and reinstall the complete half shaft in the car. We will have demonstrator joints for folks to practice disassembling (easy) and reassembling (not as easy unless you know the trick).
Do those CVs come from a yellow car?
