Has anyone here sucessfully rebuilt a Toyota DC/CV joint?
I am running a shortened front CV driveshaft from a 85 Toyota Mini in the rear of my 40. The CV end started getting sloppy on the way home from GSMTR, whack, whack, whack. I was lucky to make it home.
Anyway, I am finding conflicting info on rebuilding the Toyota CV joint. Some people claim you need "special" tools to work on the CV that only driveline shops have. Others claim it is hard to get the CV parts unless you are a driveline shop. While others claim it is so expensive to repair the Toyota CV that you are better off just buying a new shaft. Real world stories please.
