That is a question of economics: the labor of repairing and risk of failure vs. cost of new unit.

Also, when fixing my Aerostar's CV joint, the instructions were to tap gently on the CV to separate it from the dirve shaft. Well, there was nothing gentle about what was required to actually separate the pieces. We put the shaft in a vise, put a block of wood on the CV joint, and gave it a really good whack with a large hammer. There was a metal split O ring on the shaft which went into a groove in the CV joint, and held the two together. I can't guarantee that this is the same set up on the SVX. Perhaps you could find a drawing somewhere.

A multitude of skis to feed my need to go faster, faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
