..ta

the circlip for the inner joint is under the outer most tin (the part that gets trapped in the flange on the diffy).

if you have taken apart old VW Golf/jetta joints - you are doing exactly the same here. Good thinking of refreshing the grease as there is nothing called 21 year old grease.

a good coat of hammerite on the shaft would also be a good idea (your car looks like it just arrived at the dry dock)
