I am trying to replacing the rear wheel bearings. I am at the point where I have the inboard CV bolts removed and have removed the big castelated nut. Not sure what to do now. Should CV and axle be removable at this point? Right not it's not moving much at all.
I also have read posts of people who have removed the CV's only to have the the CV 'balls' fall out. Sounds not-so-fun. How do I avoid that, or is there only danger of that happening if I take apart the individual pieces of the CV itself? After I have the CV removed, should I rebuild the CV as a 'While I'm in there?' I have done an extensive search on the site and read many a thread, but am still stuck and don't see an easy explanation in the Haynes manual. Thanks! |

When you say "inner bolts" I hope you are talking about the ones that hold the CV to the transmission output flange.
Once the CV is loose from the transmission, you can raise it over the tranny (maybe have to remove the starter) and it should slide out of the hub. If it seems stuck, thread the castle nut back on the stub axle and hit it with a brass hammer to see it it frees up ... regular hammer works to, but you don't want to screw up the nut or threads by pounding on them. The CV joints will move on the beam. Don't push them back towards the center of the beam or you will lose your balls. Lot easier with the engine out of the car. |

One side I heard the soothing sounds of each ball hitting the concrete. All the while wondering, "Hmm...I wonder how that goes back together." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
