I did not have very much oil in the ball when I started hearing the clunk. (I was gone with the Guard for 2 months and my wife drove it and checked nothing.)I pulled the CV joint out and it was perfect, no slop, no broken parts. I put a new axel in anyways. Put it all back together. Still get the clicking in a tight turn both ways. I did not have the socket to take the huge nut off, so I vice-gripped it off and on. I replaced the oil with cv grease from local parts store. I'm a pretty good shade tree mechanic, but I have no idea why it is clicking. Help please!!! Bad bearings? Not seat hub enough? Also what size is the socket for the hub nut?   M. K.
