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! |

So I have asked: What is it that YOU do to get these off. I've tried a couple different tactics. A couple very mean and nasty pulls and hits with BFHammers. Won't come free. I've removed all the bolts....... So I was asking if anyone had 'secrets' or 'ideas' on what they had doen in the past. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Put the car on the ground. Engage parking brake or chock wheels so they won't roll. Remove cotter pin on castellated nut, 4' pipe for cheater bar. Stand on the pipe and jump up and down on. It will loosen eventually. Once its just barely loose, raise the car back up and remove the nut. Turn the nut around and screw it back on till its flush with the end of the axle. Smack it with a BFH. Remove nut and pull the axle and stub axle out. Then its a snap to seperate the cv from the stub axle. DO NOT PUT THE CAR BACK ON THE GROUND WITH THE STUB AXLE OUT. When your done retorque the axle nut to 200 ft lbs and reinsert a NEW cotter key. Bend one side of the key over the end of the nut and the other towards the inside of hub (cut if necessary. This method has never failed me. Good luck. |
