Hey, I had no problem with the procedure shown in this site, in fact it
is almost exactly the same procedure I use myself. I've done at least 30
cv joints this way, and no problems have occurred. Mostly, I have
cleaned them out, and reinstalled them. Quick and effective! Arkady, if
you have such problem with this, why don't you tell us how it should be
done?
