I am trying to replacing the rear wheel bearings. I am at the point where I have the inboard CV bolts removed and have removed the big castelated nut. Not sure what to do now. Should CV and axle be removable at this point? Right not it's not moving much at all.
I also have read posts of people who have removed the CV's only to have the the CV 'balls' fall out. Sounds not-so-fun. How do I avoid that, or is there only danger of that happening if I take apart the individual pieces of the CV itself? After I have the CV removed, should I rebuild the CV as a 'While I'm in there?' I have done an extensive search on the site and read many a thread, but am still stuck and don't see an easy explanation in the Haynes manual. Thanks! |
