Hey

Axle looks ok so far.

You can, but usually when the CV pops the inner race will expand as well and round off the splines.
So you may get lucky and be able to reuse it, but you might not.

Nice effort Nic!
I'd probably replace the whole axles and cv and then keep the old axle as a spare if its in good nick.

oks
sounds good.
we have taken the CV off and the axle is a little bit worn but not too bad. so will fit up the NT cv as a spare and will grabe another one to slot into diff.
