I un bolt the cv from the trans and loosen. then unbolt from stub axle. Wheel off the ground I pull on the axle and rotate the axle and tap with rubber mallet on the top of axle, near the swing arm. As it rotates the gap grows until it falls off. Works for me.

The HE can stay on. I remove the trans side bolts and pull the cv from the transmission. Then I remove the top nut on the shock and let the swingarm extend fully down. Remove the big 30 mm hub nut and then pull the entire shaft out and do whats needed. Getting the HE's to seal well is much more of a PITA. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (although when I did mine I didn't have to touch the shock). |

Just needed a bit more juice, I kept wailing at her today and she finally gave it up. From what I could tell there was '0" lube on the splines and had probably never been apart. I plan on coating the splines with never seize for the next guys benefit.
Now I have the entire assembly on the bench and will probably follow Ian's youtube video. |
