so while installing the motor and transmission yesterday- and it seemed to go so smooth, the cv and axle got out of position, the inner must have gotten bumped and twisted , so i was just now trying to get the one that fell out back in , but also noticed they if i spin the axle the outer one is kind of off center as well, so now i am wondering if i am going to have to pull the whole axle to get these put back in the cage and on the axle?? seems like i will have to pull the whole assembly, to get them circlip off and put it all back together properly—-
pandora’s box here - opening a can of worms- i have to put it on the ground to take off the outer axle nut, then pull the shaft right? looks like there is not enough room to pull it with He in and that will have to be pulled too! - can i leave the other side all hooked up? Advice please!! Phil |

I use a long tire bar
With a slight bend in n the end I always use that to pry sideways and loosen the two roll pins as I pull the outer And with two cars/ one a race car that gets frequent cv service. I’ve never yet had to pull the stub axle |

I’ve never yet had to pull the stub axle we’ll, i can see that, i pulled to jar on the outer, i was prying it h have a long bar just like you are describing, and the inner cage and balls just pulled right out and i think that’s because somehow in putting it up out of the way it got jammed and out of position- sucks- - well at this point i need to move forward- but i am done for tonight, the frustration of what should have been a 1/2 hour job to bold up the two inner CV’s to the trans wound up 3.5 hours of one cv hooked up, the other pulled out falling apart and a mess. i am running out of time- but i have to walk away at this point, - tomorrow i may put the tire on and try and remove the castle nut and push it out. i did get the inner end reassembled back on the shaft .
