Excellent video, thanks. I'm just about to have a go at the drive shafts on my MK2 Cooper S. Thanks for this. The drive shafts are similar but on these older cars but they didn't use an inner CV joint. The basic minis used a crude rubber coupling with U bolts (I'm amazed they ever lasted very long) and the performance cars (and automatics) used Hardy Spicer universal joints. Both types of joints would easily go through the hole in the subframe assembled. I guess it would have been expensive to re-jig the subframes to make the holes bigger when the introduced inner CV joints, hence the newer inner joints don't fit through the hole. The outer end CV joints seem to be much the same on my early car as in your video.

Hi again, I’m not too sure if putting the steel balls on a magnet is a good idea.The balls will be magnetised and if you use them again they have the potential to pick any steel chips, rust etc when you replace them into the cv. Stefan

This time, I'm more impressed by the way you filmed the actions and details, and how you did your post-production. I guess you use another camera or software: I experience a difference without understanding why! The trick with the magnet, I take it with me: good practice. Looking forward what we will learn from the exhaust analytics! Thanks.

Make your life a whole lot easier: after having removed the CV joints, take off the locking circlips. Carefully bend in the end of the circlips by about 1/8th" (3 - 4 mm) & refit. they will retain the joint assembly, yet reduce the effort required to take them off the shaft next time. Bleeeve me, owned minis since 1968.

if you reuse the balls, it's probably better to demagnetize them after putting them on a magnet, otherwise they might attract the metal shavings and accelerate wear.

If only I had a dollar for every cv joint I inspected and repacked, it was part of a major inspection on all VW models until they came out with a synthetic high temperature grease.
