Hi guys,
about to replace all 4 rear CV's, and will need to clean packing grease and old muck from new bits/mountings.

Haynes manual advises cleaning with parafin. Is there an alternative solvent or cleaner that is safe to use (with the joints) that will not leave a residue that may affect the new CV grease?

Can't find owt in Wiki, anybody got any gen?

Ta, Myk.

Whats wrong with the parafin?

Yup - agree. It will only leave an oily residue (no bad thing) and besides, you can wipe them dry if you really want to. Just did mine that way and paraffin is undoubtedly the cheapest/quickest way to do it.

No probs with using 'fin,

't'was just prooving difficult to obtain nearby and was seeking an alternative......

however,

if thats the better option..... a hunting I will go

Myk.

petrol works for me

Have you tried Cillit Bang - seemingly it cleans everything!!!


NOT SERIUOUS ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
