I've never removed the axles to remove or install an engine. Just put plastic bags on the CVs to keep grease contained.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Just unbolt the CV's on the transmission side and slide the whole thing out the back. No need to remove the stub axles and risk ruining the wheel bearings.

So there is no need to do anything with the stub axle. You are literally pulling the 4 bolt off the CV that attaches to the transmssion, and putting a bag around the CV, and that's it. The axles just kinda hang down and you push them around as needed when removing or installing the engine. You do not take apart the CV, remove the stubs, or any of that. In fact, you don't even touch the outer CVs. On reinstall, you put in a new seal, use new bolts and new washers. Zach |

Sir Andy said to remove on the wheel side so I thought that meant unbolting the CV at the stub axle. This was more of a general question than specifically for engine install. |

Sir Andy said to remove on the wheel side so I thought that meant unbolting the CV at the stub axle. This was more of a general question than specifically for engine install. Same difference. He's leaving the axles attached to the trans and taking out the 4 bolts on the wheel side and bagging the CV there. There still is no taking apart the CV. And you still need a new seal, bolts and washers. Zach |
