Get a '63. They don't have any of that stuff.

Subject: [tcb] Hey Bay peeps!

I am trying to replace the new Chinese CVs (one of these new ones makes a
bad noise and does not let the wheel turn freely and I had a real mechanic
double check my work and he couldn't make it work any better) that are on my
'71 with brandy new German ones.   But I found a hole in the cap that keeps
the tranny fluid from leaking into the CV.  I just bought another one of
these caps today.  I didn't think it was going to be hard to pop the holy
one off and pop the new one in place but yikes!  That thing must be glued in
place!  Is that right?  Am I supposed to glue it in?  If yes then what sort
of glue stuff should I use?  

And someone told me to Lock-tite my CV bolts in place.  Should I really do
this?  It seems impossible to keep grease out of threads and off of the
bolts with a CV packed full of grease.  I wouldn't think Lock-tite would
work with it being greasy. And if it did work I might never get the bolts
out.  

Thanks,

Julie
