WE used zip ties on Humve CV's when doing replacements ,

 

thats really way too much info. lol but your felling much better now right.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Zip ties should be carried out on the trail. In a pinch, they can keep you from losing all your grease on your joint. Also it will keep the dirt out!!!!!
Under no circumstances!!! Let me say this again; UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should they be used as a permanant replacement for the real thing.
Yes it is harder to do and yes it costs more to do. but for f**** sake, do the job right and save yourself a s***load of hassles in the future!

 

i've tried that many times and they dont clear between the cv joint and the carrier use a clamp or stainless steel wireand twist that till its tight the zip tie will only work on the inner part of the axle there theres no gap to clear.
