Ok today was pulling out my passenger front strut and rebuilding with catridge type front assemblies from RocketScott (thanks guy!)
I thought I had propped the wheel hub nicely for while I broke down the old assembly and assembled the new one, but I apparently nudged the wheel hub when I was maneuvering the new assembly around the break-line and when the wheel hub leaned outward (away from the motor) it pulled the inner cv/axle spline out of the transmission. (I've read it may have never been properly installed or I might have a bad c-clip?) Eitherway, I know it's a rookie mistake so I'm just looking for some opinions for Celica vets before I moved forward. Good way to reinstall? Things I should check on? - Edited for clarification This post has been edited by 94yotaGT: Dec 9, 2015 - 10:51 PM |

You're going to want to try to carefully turn the shaft back and forth while pushing it back into the cup, done right you may be OK assuming nothing fell out inside the boot.
