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! |

He is just trying to separate the CV from the stub axle, so the axle does not need to come out.
In fact, I was told (on this forum) that if you pound out the stub from the bearings, you will ruin the bearings. I dont totally agree with that since my haynes manual actually has a picture of someone driving the axle out with a soft blow hammer. It does not state that you need to replace the wheel bearings afterward. Stu |

After the all the bolts on the outer joint are loose or out I usually just take the inner joint raise it up and slam it down, turn the wheel 90degrees and repeat. Inner joint pops loose fairly quickly. Jim |
