Just looking for a bit of advice on this one. I'm changing various suspension parts on the front of the 4x4. It's obvious that I had pulled the drive shaft a little further than intended and had dropped the tripod joint out of the gearbox into the gaiter. I've relocated it and it seems to rotate smoothly enough with a fair bit of resistance (no idea how much resistance I would encounter when turning the shaft manually with cold oil...?). So what are the chances that I have damaged the tripod joint either in pulling it out or pushing it back in? Would you be inclined to pull back the boot to inspect the joint just in case...? Firsts time I've done this job so I'm a little unsure but obviously I want to avoid a gear box full of needle bearings!
