Front Drive Shaft Update

Yeah....
No.
Ineos can come pick it up right where it pukes, Im not fixing that.

My last one took under 20min. Thats on my two post lift and impact tools. Putting on lift slows you down a bit and power tools slows you up a bit. Probably a wash. If you had a spare shaft you're looking at 10-15min. Greasing the joint takes a moment.

Per another’s suggestion, could someone pack the bearings and joint and wrap it in plastic and store that in the car rather than an unpackaged replacement? Is there a downside to this? This would remove much of the messy time spent packing the bearings. Of course more grease would be needed before install but then you could take your time prepping the new joint.

Standard practise if you tow a trailer...well once you've had to deal with a knackered bearing not in the comfort of your lounge room, you know!
Spares need to include new cv bolts.
