@ Polaris,

OK, well that's the difference. I didn't touch the exhaust sytem.

Job was done in 60 minutes. 15 minutes to get the axle out by removing the lower arm from the wheel carrier. 30 minutes to remove both boots, clean everything, fill in grease, install new boots and special clamps. 15 minutes to get the axle in and bolt everything to specs. In the moment getting the axle in and out you need another person, or better 2 persons because somebody has to pull the lower arm away while you handle the axle. So 2 axles complete within 2 hours.

If i wanted to deinstall my exhaust system that was there since 11 years last year i think it would have taken alone minimum 2 hours to get the exhaust system off the car.

But if you are a daily exhaust modder and you exhaust system is without any rust, maybe you'll be faster.

As said, you have to remove the exhaust/catalysator, or you have to remove the lower arm from the wheel carrier. Else you won't be able to change cv boots on a 6 speed S.

Regards
Markus
