I recently had all 4 CV boots replaced at Sydney Drive Shaft in Carlton NSW. CV joints were inspected and re-greased. They charged me $140 cash. I did the labour of removing them from the car and taking them to the workshop. They were done in just over an hour. For that kind of money I wouldn't bother changing the boots myself anymore. The only hassle I had was getting the CV shaft locknut off on the passenger side. I broke 2, half inch breaker bars [ irony ] and ended up borrowing a snap on high torque rattle .gun

i've just done the same and ordered the whole front set, problem is i cant get the drivers side front inner section out/off the transfer case...... i've undone the plate with the 5 bolts but it still wont release............. ive got the shaft out but i need the inner where the boot connects too.

passengers side was easy LOL :(

The drivers side just clips in, lever it out with a flat blade or similar, or tap it out with a Nylon hammer. Make sure you do the bolts up on the diff first, you don't want that coming apart.

Ah, I understand what you were talking about now; that's the bearing carrier.

I found using a tyre lever with a 90 degree tip is the perfect tool for removing the drivers side CV from the diff. I found it a little easier than the wide blade screw driver with adjustable spanner on the end of it.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
