This is something I am "thinking" about when time comes to re-boot my existing axles as spares for 107 & 123.
But they are homokinetic, so it seems they would need a can removed, one joint pressed off, boots installed, joint reinstalled and then new can crimped on.
Anyone here done this and documented it?
Anyone have a picture of a crimping tool that has worked?
I met one guy that had done at least 3 cars this way, but I have lost touch with him. I think he used Kent's method.
