I should have changed gears to torque the spindle nuts, but instead I installed wheels, lowered the car, torqued, raised the car, removed the wheels, and staked the spindle nuts ... then reinstalled the wheels.

Driver's side cv shaft installed -- no spindle nuts yet (the big 32mm socket needing stake nuts that keep your shafts in the hubs. Those *must* be replaced.. new shafts will include them)

I didn't tie up one of my hubs well enough and ripped a ball joint boot -- but if it ripped from that, it was due anyways.. Adding new lower control arms to the shopping list.

The CV shaft splines get lubed with a moly grease. I had a moly assembly lube from way back when, so I used that, but you can pick up a moly grease from autozone.. I will say though: The assembly lube -- I must've applied it before. When I went to remove the cv shafts for this job, they slid out of the wheel hubs with the push of a few fingers. They were completely unbound.

Here's a scuff on the heat shield caused by my former zip ty funny business -- hence why it snapped off. I will be replacing CV shafts some time soon,

And here's my stupid zip-ty nonsense on a cv shaft. Now, these really are exceptional ties -- not your big box store nonsense.. But the profile of their cinching mechanism doesn't fit within the heat shield for the passenger's side, as you'll soon see.

This. This is why you have a rough idle after you finish adjusting valves, etc. Because of this 5.5mm little shit. The air boot's band/hose clamp

Shitty picture, but for anyone whose read my work, I like greasing my rubbers when I can. This is "red rubber grease". It's fuel safe and, I'm told, safe for brake fluid too... whatever. It helps me get the intake boot on the throttle body and little PCV pipe back into the airbox
