[alfa] Re: Transaxle help -- cv joints

["Obie Fayth" <bibendum59@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,
    There is a bowl shaped cap that fits over the outboard end of each CV 
joint. Use a screwdriver or punch and hammer to gently tap it loose. Once it 
is off press the cv joint as far down the axle as possible and clean the old 
grease off the end of the axle. The end of the axle has a circlip that keeps 
it from pulling out of the joint. Remove the circlip and you will be able to 
slide the axle out of the cv joint.
