I was removing my half shafts to clean and repack my CV joints and replace the CV boots. Nothing wrong with them, more of a "while I'm in there" type of thing.
Well, the PO (or his mechanic) replaced the triple-square bolts with allen / inhex bolts, and stripped them while installing or attempting to remove them. Has anyone had any luck getting a stripped bolt out of the wheel side CV without removing the castle nut on the hub? PO handiwork:  |
