Cheers for the compliments about the old girl, she does look lovely once I've had chance to clean her.
With the CV's on these shafts once you remove the joint thats it you might aswell scrap it as you have to remove them with an almighty smack with a hammer, one of mine broke the other survived fine (althought they'd worn out anyway) the vids about carefully cutting them do work but tbh your better off wrapping a rag round the shaft putting it in a vice and hitting the back of the joint with a good solid hit.
I personally after the crap I had with J&R would only use shaftec joints as iirc their OEM for peugeot and fairly priced too at £50 for the pair, the fittings that come with the shaftec kits are all nicely made, plenty of grease packets and the boots seem to be a very high quality ( with this last sentance shaftec might aswell pay me commision
)
The shafts are quite easy to refurb if im honest as long as youve a vice bollted down to something as youll need it for reassembly too
When pitting the new joints on i tried a few different approches to compressing the ring, i tried shaftecs trick of a jubilee but they all failed in the end i mounted the shaft verticle in the vice, applied a little pressure to the top of the joint and eased the ring in with a small screwdriver working my way round, the entire refurb took maybe 40mins and 25 of that was re watching youfail vids for hints and tricks.
If you need anymore help with the refurb or a vid etc ill gladly go beat the joints off the J&R ones
