Hi guys
Just destroyed my 100 series front diff at Turon so thought I should brush up my knowledge on cv replacement in my 90.
What do you do if, like me, you do not have a spare cv in the truck?
In the 100 I have removed drive flange plates which connect the cv axle splines to the wheel hubs, drop the front drive shaft and lock the centre transmission effectively making it 2 wheel drive but you can't do that on the 90.
It appears to me that you would have to remove the entire broken axle, or if you are lucky just the snapped off hub end.
If you remove the axle(s) then you are going to loose the diff oil and water/mud entry may be a problem. Rags will only stop so much.
So, what do you guys do in this situation. Anything clever or am I correct and you are basically stuffed?
