I just finished a complete front end refresh on the 04 and I was torquing down the newly replaced balljoint bolts when I noticed a tear in the PS outer CV boot and splattered grease. The axle has to come out Oy!
I have been wrestling with the axle to get it past the spindle but even with the SB link unbolted and the tie rod removed, I just can't seem to clear the spindle.
So I will unbolt the BJ from the control arm and will need to replaced the bolts again as they appear to be TTY according to the tightening procedure.
ie: Torque to x ft lbs and then another 90* turn.
Napa used to carry the just the bolt kit but now you have to buy the BJ too and mine are new.
Anybody know of a source?
