Bad news: axle woes

I delayed cleaning the axles too long and last night discovered that I will need some additional parts. The right side C/V joint bearing looks ok, but the threads for the axle nut are mangled. I don't know why I didn't see that when I pulled it off a couple of weeks ago. Need to find another C/V joint now.












The left side has a tripod bearing that's lost at least one of the needle bearings. So that should probably be replaced as well. Time for another trip to Scanwest. I don't want to wait to have parts shipped. Argh! I thought I was done buying parts for a while.

Taking the A/C condensor out is not as easy as it seems. The old lines are frozen to the condensor fittings, and one had to be cut off. This should give better air flow to the new radiator, and if I ever install a better intercooler, will provide some more room for that purpose.
