Mk IV UCA Failure

Jakester I think you will be fine. To make greasing easier I used to separate the pivot from the sleeve so I could spin the pivot around while greasing. That really helped w/ the old steel on steel setup. The delrin doesn't need that for grease dispersion but could be done for easier access to the grease nipple. And separating it this way doesn't affect alignment. Also, w/ the delrin, I suspect greasing will be maybe a once a year deal.

Is it really that difficult to remove the cross-shaft nuts, lift up on the spindle and slide the pivot collars off the end of the cross-shaft, flip them over and then reassemble? You could either unbolt the upper coilover mount or use a jack to raise the spindle.
