Broken CV fun!

Had a CV let go last night...

Some pictures.

Axles have been great to me for the past 29,000 miles.

Ugh... CV grease is a nightmare to clean up. If you figure out any tricks, post 'em up!

You can get one of those shop air pressurized sprayers that you put brake cleaner in and blast away.

I'd be afraid brake cleaner would wipe out the undercoating, and grey up all the plastics! But yes, that would probably dissolve it.

Its a Gforce axle with stock CV. You can do jut the axles (like most have done) or you can get the full setup with build CVs as well.

Drive shaft shop is the place. I had a 1000 rwhp vette with the driveshaftshop half shafts . I never had a problem in the world. Until some one damaged the boot. They took it back and rebuilt it for no charge, just shipping,a+

What are you going to do with the outer CV joint? I just want the inner race to make a shift **** for my 700 Grizzly. I have a small inner race out a Grizzly axle cause I just broke a front CV on it but was wanting one a little bigger. If you are just going to trash it I'll pay shipping but honestly, I'm to cheap to pay for it.
