Having removed the Engine and Tranny. Prep for the car to head to the paint process. I want to remove and rebuild the axle and CV joints.
I can't get them to come loose. Am I missing something? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Assuming you removed the 4 12-star bolts, you can try simply pulling on them. I got mine off this way but had to be very aggressive.
The only other way I know of is to remove the castle nut that connects the stub axle to the hub. Then you can pull the stub axle / CV joint / half shaft off as an assembly and separate them on the bench, which is easy. Removing that whole assembly can be challenging with the trans in place due to clearance issues, but since your drivetrain is removed, removal should be a snap. Removing that castle nut will require a breaker bar, I think the factory spec is 200 ft lbs (or more). Don't forget to take out the cotter pin first! good luck, and if you need help servicing your CV joints, search "914 cv joints" on youtube for a pair of videos that are an awesome walkthrough. |
