Hey guys, I'm replacing my cv axle on the passenger side. This is a 2008 LS Cobalt.
I got it off, and Haynes manual recommended replacing the set ring. So I got a new one at the dealership, put it on and it stretched a little from bending it to fit onto the shaft. (I almost feel it want even necessary to replace this ring).
Now I can't seem to get the new cv over the new ring. And there isn't really any room to see anything or fit many tools to help guid the ring in. Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying to take it off and put it inside the cv axle first and then putting it on but im not sure if that will even be possible. How do I do this?
