This is a new one in me.. but I pulled a spare trailing arm out of storage to replace the one on my driver (which had a torn rubber bushing). I planned to clean the arm up and paint it first, but my spare has a cv joint stuck inside, stuck to the stub axle by the roll pins I guess. Axle was gone when I got it (pulled out somehow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) )
I tried everything to free it, though there’s very little space to get any leverage on it, inside the arm. I actually was eventually able to remove the inside cage w/ball bearings but the thick outer section is still firmly in place. I even tried ti drill out the roll pins - ended up breaking two drill bits. Any ideas? Fire is next (is residual axle grease flamable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) ) but I thought I’d see if anyone else has come across this and how it was dealt with. |
