You have to get the bit 12 point I think from bus depot or vanagain. I think you should be able to swap them back around on the same side. I've disassembled them before and they look exactly the same. If you've got them off why don't you get the boot and a new cv kit too and just put new ones on and be done with it. If you buy the kit it's cheaper than just the CV. I think.. Bus Depot again.

It seems to me that all the ware on the CV Joints are from going forward. If I flip sides I will only hear the knocking when traveling at speed going around a corner in reverse. I don't know if the flange to the wheel and the flange to the final drive are the same but by putting the left on the right and vise versa should work right? By the way what size tool is required to remove the bolts at the flange, it looks like torx but I don't seem to have the right size? Thanks in advance. Stephen DeMocko ("85 westy Luci)
