Hi Gang,

I just tackled replacing the CVs on the passenger rear
of my Syncro where I had been hearing crunch scrapes
and wheezes.  I figured that the CV was dry and gone.
I pulled it all appart and there was still some grease
but the bearings fell out very easy.

Ok now for the big nut.  I was holding on the the
brake drum to loosen the friggen allen bolts when I
noticed alot of play.  Turns out the big nut (46 mm?)
was friggen loose and the axle had a little play.  I
got the biggest cresent wrench which opened to the
exact size and stumped on that as hard as I could.  I
figured it was not 500 Nm but it will hold until I can
get the right tools.
