Hi!
I am busy changing the boots on the Outer CV joints on my 97 Honda Civic Coupe.
I have got to the stage where the boots are back on the drive shafts (not secured yet) but having a bit of trouble getting the CV joints back on past the circlips - i have managed to break these by following instructions on reassembly of the driveshaft.
My question is; am I able to drive the car without the circlips or is it a bad idea to do so? Also, how do I get the CV joint splines past the circlips when reassembling the drive shaft?
Thanks for any help!!
