[DML] Re: Axel seal replacement tricks

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another point to make. When you remove the half-shaft from the output
flange most likely you are going to want to leave it hanging there. If
you do decide not to remove it from the car you should not let it
hang. The C/V boot is held on by a thin shell at the large end. If you
let the shaft drop (hang) you will bend the shell out of shape. Either
hold it up with a piece of wire or better yet remove it and relube the
joints. If the boots are in good shape all it will take besides time
is some grease and some new bands (4 large and 4 small if you do both).
