I'm trying to remove the outer half of my outboard CV joint from when it busted last weekend. I've got the shaft out, as well as the bearings and all 13 pieces of the inner cage, but I can't seem to break it loose from the hub. Since it's so tight right there, I can't really ger anything in there, such as a chisel, to work them loose. I don't have any sort of large prybar (lost my tire iron last year sometime...). Is that the reasonable thing to do, or will that damage anything? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I do have all four CV bolts out on that side too. (None of those had washers, but the inboard ones did)
Thanks in advance! |

squat out of luck... Its so hard to get that part off... I consider them a lost cause, and take the cv joint and stub axle out as one system... Only off the car can you remove the joint from the stub axle..

Only off the car can you remove the joint from the stub axle.. I was afraid of that. Do I need to reset the vent clearence on the rear cailpers once I put it back together? I'm assuming that I take off the castle nut, caliper and disc, then tap that out? The Haynes I've got isn't that detailed on the procedure, unless I'm looking at the wrong section.. |
