Hi all,
I'm sending this out as another attempt to gather some wisdom regarding
cleaning up my axles before putting on my new cv joints.  Is it safe to
use fine sandpaper to help clean them?  (For example, the kind you can
use wet?)  I had a few responses that thought this was a bad idea.  What
do people think is the best way for me to clean them up (at the ends
where the boots will go)?

Thanks for any help,
Wes

One more question was: should I do anything to my transmission while I
have the axles out?  Wipe the grease away from the area where the cv
joints attach, etc?
