- Try replacing the whole half-shaft assembly. I'm putting new ones on
- my Mazda and at the dealer the half-shaft with 2 CV's was $100 cheaper
- than buying the 2 CV's separatly. A rebuilt assembly was even less.
- On the mazda it was fairly simple to pop the inner one out of the
- trans axle and not too tough to get the outer one off the hub. Mazda
- reccomends a special puller tool, I just used a hammer to bang it out.
