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 |

Probably better at this point to just remove the castle nut and bang the stub axle out.

And here's a video on how to refurbish the CV joints...made much more recently (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-5Xpug52Qw&t=277s |

Probably better at this point to just remove the castle nut and bang the stub axle out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) But I have access to an impact gun. However, theres is also minimal risk here is that you accidentally separate the rear wheel bearing races if the stub hasn't been out in 50 odd years and is likely to be stuck/corroded to the wheel bearing inner race. If you don't want to risk the wheel bearing, the other method suggested by Brant would be a really close 2nd for me. |
