After I'm all done cleaning ours, I put this in a garden sprayer (dilute it about 2-1) and just give a quick spray...shines things up a bit.

When I was an auto tech in the mid '80s, I changed about 3 of those a week...got really good at it. In the beginning we would rebuild the CV joint, but after a few years of the FWD companies started making entire replacement shafts like you show...and they were only about $99 at that time....I'd swap one out in less than an hour. The hardest part was separating the lower ball joint on some, and there were a few cars that had a tricky snap ring inside the transaxle that you'd have to take out...real PIA. Rebuilding a CV joint is a tricky piece of work, getting all balls back in properly and all. And I have (still have it) a special tool for crimping the metal bands around the CV joint housing after the boot was replaced. We used to tease the new technicians by telling them that the grease inside CV joints was special...came from sperm whale oil and was very rare...lol.

Changed the ground battery cable on the Camaro...the wire was coming out of the molded end terminal. Easy fix...the hardest part was figuring out how to route the new cable to make it look all neat and tidy, as it was about 5" longer than the old cable. No pics.

The snap ring is on the drivers side, her's what had to come off for the passenger side,
