Hello all... I am asking advice here.

I have pulled appart the front end of our no. 1 Sprint with the intent of a totaly new suspension... that is easy part. Now I have it out... I am looking at the drive shafts and bearings... How do I know if the shafts are stuffed... and the bearings.

There were that many bumps and grinds before disassembly that i could not tel... any suggestions?

thanks guys.

Mark

To get them off you can get someone to hold the wheel while your undoing the cbolts, there are six of them and i recommend using socket allen key on either a 1/2" or 3/8" ratchet. If you use a cheap allen key you will strip the bolt then comes out the grinder.

Then you have the hub bolt this one is toight!!! bog socket and the biggest extension bar you can find. i actually do these before the allen key side as to hold it while your undoing it someone can put the brakes on and volia.

Hop this helps.
