So, I have to share this cause it may help someone out there. When I bought my euro 85, one of the PO's had wrapped the inner and outer CV joint with old inner tube rubber and closed off the ends with zip ties. I have no Idea how long it had been that way. I've put 5 years and 100K on the car and it's still that way. I have a new after market axel sitting in the back of the car waiting for the the axel to fail but so far have not had to use it....

Anyways, not the correct way, but could help someone in a pinch and you would not have to remove the axel to do it.
