thankyou for everyones advice, thought about this but I guess I have no choice but to take Roberts advice and go for the new parts. I guess Kathy might let you know how it goes in the next few days or I might be home before the weekend.

Good luck Max, if it isn't under warranty I think you will need new parts.
I dropped Dad off today to get a new CV joint 1/2 way down his leg,(Nee replacement) he then gets the other one done in four weeks.

Max is now back home, the doctor actually used second hand parts to fix his shoulder, thanks to donar bone, but he has a new ball joint as well. This is better for him instead of using his bone for the graft. We believe surgery may have been about 5 hours, I know Max kept me waiting for 8 hours before they brought hime to his room. If all goes well it should never have to be done again. Max now has to behave himself for at least 6 long weeks, who said being a carer was easy.
