so while installing the motor and transmission yesterday- and it seemed to go so smooth, the cv and axle got out of position, the inner must have gotten bumped and twisted , so i was just now trying to get the one that fell out back in , but also noticed they if i spin the axle the outer one is kind of off center as well, so now i am wondering if i am going to have to pull the whole axle to get these put back in the cage and on the axle?? seems like i will have to pull the whole assembly, to get them circlip off and put it all back together properly—-
pandora’s box here - opening a can of worms- i have to put it on the ground to take off the outer axle nut, then pull the shaft right? looks like there is not enough room to pull it with He in and that will have to be pulled too! - can i leave the other side all hooked up? Advice please!! Phil |

I never pull the stud to get the cv shaft out
You can use the parking brake to loosen the 12 points and pull just the axle Sounds like a good too me to disassemble. Wash. Inspect. Repack |

Repack ok, so lock parking break(just installed new cable, should grab good enough, loosen the 4 outer c12pt cv bolts, pull out cv etc? Brant- thanks for the quick reply i would have gone the long way around this for sure!!! Philip |
