Are you removing or putting it on??

You can get tools that file a thread onto the bolt/shaft...

im putting it back on. so i should file the end of the thread on the driveshaft to take it back to abit of the thread that isnt worn?

New nut for a start mate. Made a bit of a difference on mine.

HAVE YOU PUT THE WASHER BACK IN lol

[BIGS]

Some have different threads. Some have a fine thread and others have a course one. Have alook that they are the same

[NovaBoi92]

i have put the washers back in. isnt there any other way to do it apart from new shaft end? ive already spent loads of money on loads of new parts.

loads of money being £20 and loads of new parts being 2 track rod ends)

i hate those bloody nuts, snapped 2 breaker bars trying to get one undone.

im just going to buy a new cv.

Just file the end. The nut will take to the shaft eventually. Why fork out for a not needed CV?
