      MH>I see the "glow" in a circle around the A/C line itself where it meets this       MH>junction type fitting. I didn't see any bolts, so not sure how it is       MH>connected. The line runs right into this area. A picture would be better t       MH>show what I mean.              It that ias a junction between the Flexible hose and a Metal pipe it       cannot be reapired. The whole piece needs to be replaced.              MH>TW> Some Tranny side CV joints are bolted and others have a oin that needs       MH>TW> to be driven out with a punch.       MH>TW> you can consider jsut replacing the Boot if it is the outer boot that is       MH>TW> bad. I have done that on a VW Dasher/Audi Fox without touching the       MH>TW> inner joint.              MH>Mine isn't bolted and am almost sure it has one of the "C" type clips that       MH>holds it in place on the shaft. It is the inner boot that is throwing a bit       MH>grease (closest to the transmission). There is also a very slight shimmy at       MH>times when accellerating at high speeds which I'm sure is the same trouble       MH>spot. It is very minor right now, but on my "watch" list. :)              Yes some do use "C" clips.              The inner joint can get really noisy before they really need replacing.       But don't delay too long.       I let the wife drive a car with a noisy outer joint until it broke.       Fortunatly is was while making a U Turn in the front of the house.       ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ Typo Tom strikes agaoin        * Origin: Since 1991 And Were Still Here!
