Question: Is it possible to remove the outer CV from the axle to exchange with another one that I have?

It appears that the inner circlip is not accessible thru the joint itself and the only access would be to remove the factory crimped boot flange and would most likely be destroyed when removed. I can envision assembly of the joint during the manufacturing / crimping process but removal and replacement is eluding me.

Any thoughts? Other than replacing the entire axle. I have another outer CV of the same part # but it is on a much shorter axle shaft.

The part # for the outer CV is 96433203205 and the entire axle is 96433202408. The overall length is approx 25" long and the axle diameter is approx 1"
Anyone have one laying around for sale? 93 RSA

AFAIK you can only replace the inners.

It is possible but a great deal of work.

I just bought new half axles when I wanted to re-do my rear inners and outers.

I've also just installed four new drive shafts - a repair was possible but not necessarily economical as they had close to 200k KM under their belt. A painful experience for the wallet but that's life...

FWIW CV of Ocala (Florida) will tear down your current joints, polish the races (*not* grind) and install slightly oversize ***** (0.001-0.003") for ~$150/axle. The did my rears; I'll be sending in the fronts in the next couple weeks.

I will keep this information for future use, I went ahead and purchased another axle to keep the project moving forward. Great information. Thank you
