99200 miles: Half shaft rebuild

It took about 3 days for the AA to bring my car home and when it got here I set about rebuilding that half shaft that ruined my trip to the Ring. It came out of the car without a problem. Once i got it to the dining room table I cracked open the sealed CV and found it was bone dry. Of course it was that simple. The sealing faces were somewhat corroded but the rubber o rings seemed fine. The machined surface inside the joint was glazed but otherwise undamaged. After a little wet and dry and some gentle resurfacing of the sealing faces the joint went back together. I topped it up with the correct amount of fluid and bolted it back in to the car. So far so good, it is smooth, quiet and it hasn't leaked a drop. Wicked.
