KarlT:  Just put new boots on the front CV's. It was a learning curve & thought if you (like me) had never
seen a CV before this might be of a little help. 

First things first.......Get some protection from our summer weather, last thing we want is a case of heat-stroke!!!

HarryMamm: This is for 'early' type fabricated lower control arms. Later cast ones cannot be removed like that ...


V-Lux: Mine are the late arms.

I managed to do mine by removing only the top link. Had to remove the brake caliper to get enough lean on the upright, but it can be done, ..its very tight, but possible.
