Rebuilding the drive shafts... Cleaned everything, installing new rubber boots

Done (I was going to clean and reuse the old tie-wraps but new metal tie-wraps get here next week).

Ok, the rust removing wheel is small enough now to use in the torsion tube...

Nice and clean now... some rust neutralizer... some more cleaning... drying..

I wanted to use gray POR-15 but the only one that I had handy was black... so black it is. Used a sponge to spread it inside the torque tube...

Ok... First insert washer

Install the CVJ with the machine side up (you really can't get this wrong as the other side would be loose against the metal cover with the boot)

Install cir-clip. Tap on the cir-clip to make sure it is inserted in the groove correctly...

Something that I noticed when cleaning and repacking the CVJs... the small tab on the inner piece goes with the large section on the outer piece...

See here... pointing to the small tab on the inner piece

pointing to the large tab on the inner piece, look how it goes with the smaller tab in the outer piece... Not really sure if this has anything to do with how these are installed... I just made sure to install them in the same way...

Both drive shafts done (well, still need to install the metal clamp on the rubber boots)... put a plastic bag over each end to avoid dust/dirt getting in the grease...

I ended ordering the front floor pan section from Restoration Design (and the rear parcel shelf, and the hinges support, and...)... (father-in-law modeling the new floor section)...

And now seeing that nice looking and solid new section makes me wonder if I should continue to help the national debt index and just order the rear section as well...

It takes material off slowly enough that it'll take about 15 minutes to cut the notch, so the only way to hurt anything is to drop the timing cover on the concrete.
