Subject:syncro - front cv joint r&r
From:Alistair Bell

I have never done this on a syncro before...

I need to replace torn boot on front right inner cv joint. I'd prefer
to take entire front axle out and regrease both ends while I am at
it, and looking at bentley it seems the front outer cv joint is only
held in by nut at end of shaft....but is it really that simple?

i seem to recall hearing that its more involved, steering knuckle
removal needed to get clearance etc.

I'm not in the mood for a struggle, so if I hear that its a bear,
I'll just drop the inner joint and replace boot/repack cv joint in situ.

cheers
