this was fairly straight forward, 4 bolts, a nut and the shaft is out. one of the CV things spat out the needles when i took it apart so that took about 30min additional time that i was smarter on the 2nd side. installed new boots, filled with new grease. clamp suppled crashed to lower balljoint so HD nylon ties were used everywhere.
5 hours to do both sides, boot upgrades, grab something to eat, and run to wallmart for some gear oil, change both diffs.
followed the FSM to remove the tie rod from the first side, didnt need to do it and didnt on the second side.
not bad for M4
