I am cleaning up some axles and re-lubing cv’s
first axle, first cv popped off the half shaft with just a few good tugs per cuddyk’s youtube how to first axle, second cv cannot get the spider and cage off the axle started with tugging and pretty soon the balls and outer cylinder were in my hands but spider and cage still on half shaft moved to hammer & punch working around the back side perimeter of conical washer up against the spider got some movement but slow and seemed to stop with about a 16th of an inch of the half shaft grooves still proud of the outboard side of the spider I was spraying with wd-40 intermittently all the while next borrowed a slide hammer and puller plate from o’reilly maybe got a little more progress but still see grooves proud of the outboard side of the was spider I’ve soaked it over night with wd-40 and will hit it again with the puller/slide hammer this afternoon Any other suggestions? l don’t have a torch here but I’d be hesitant to use one on the spider anyway TIA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) cjl |

I just did this with brand new LWB 911 axles and CVs. Was cheaper to buy as units than just the CVs... for using sway-a-way axles.
Put a puller on the end and tensioned. Bent a 2 foot piece of 1.25 inch tubing to about half inch at one end. Smacked with hammer around the spider in a few spots. One real difficult, 2 were difficult, 4th came off easy. Production tolerances? All the CVs float fine on the new axles. |
