I know there's lots of posts with tips, hints, opinions, etc about rear axle removal. However I haven't found anything with a step by step method that suits my situation.
I've been trying to remove the axle from under the car so I can service the inner CV joint. I backed out the outer CV bolts but couldn't get it apart with the limited amount of space under there. So removing the big ol' castellated nut seems like my next option. Let me know if I got the steps in the correct order so I don't break something... 1) Rear wheels on the ground, blocked, chocked, braked. 2) Breaker bar or impact wrench to remove 30mm castellated nut. 3) Put the nut on reverse so there's a better surface to hammer out the stub axle without damaging the threads. 4) Hammer out the stub using a brass punch (wheels on ground or jacked up?) 5) Remove the stub/CV/axle from underneath the car |
