Well...I think I finally got it. I had it in far enough, but the seal was pushed in on the bottom. It made it look like it wasn't in far enough. I ended up getting a new National seal and replacing it. Everything seems to be OK now. Thanks for the help. I got a lot of snarky replies, but...

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/101038-how-install-new-cv-axles-5.html Steamdonkey's post has a picture of the tool he built because of the difficulty of getting it back in.

That can't be the problem. I never took the seal out.

Because I did what everyone suggests and read the other threads on replacement. Several talk about how hard it is to get back in. One thread even has a special tool that was welded because it was so difficult.

Good questions. To damage the boot you have to be a complete idiot when you disconnect the sway bars and accidentally catch one side on the CV boot. Not one of my brighter moments. The "pin" I am talking about is the C-clip pin on the end of the axle shaft. I'm guessing now that this stupid...

My wife yell at me for not being able to put my 4runner back together. It's the worst song ever.

Sadly - that seems to be the norm today. How do you break the cycle though?

Nope, but I'm interested too. The drugs Jones tested positive for were obviously not in any supplements. It will be interesting if we here about Lesnar.

Mainly Irish with nobody famous that I know of. I'd like to get one of those spit DNA tests done.

Great idea!

I own a YETI and love it, but if I had to do it over I would buy an RTIC. I've compared it to the YETI and it seems to hold ice longer.

It will be safe for a few more days and yes new ones come packed with grease.
