Really, ya'll were able to jack up your vehicle, take the front wheel off, remove the right front caliper assembly, remove the upper ball joint for the right side spindle, drop the steering assembly, drop the front differential and all the work needed for this, pull the broken CV assembly and then reassemble everything, in one hour. Truly amazing. If a good shop that has never done it before can do it properly in three hours I would be amazed, but an hour, [color:"red"] WOW! [/color] . It took me the better part of six+ hours to get all the frozen, hard to get at parts separated and put back together. I suppose I could do it in three hours now that I know a lot of tricks and if I had a gun to my head.

I have to fit the one hour CV unit change out on a late model Rodeo/Amigo that has never had a bolt or ball joint broke loose on the front end in the same category of those who claim they can change out a V-6 timing belt and water pump and be ready to run in one hour, or say they can do a complete valve lifter adjustment on a 3.2 V6 in one hour (not just a check and say it is good enough, but re-shim every valve).

Changing out just boot and reassembling might be done in an hour or less, but pulling the entire CV joint out of the differential and replacing and being ready to go in an hour, GIVE ME A BRAKE!!!
