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 |

tools for getting the castle nut off, and holding the hub in place , worth Ebrake on too, i used this heavy duty rebar water meter tool, worked great to hold it the T at end being placed on the ground , and the other end holds onto a lug the 2 lugs were covered with tape to prevent any damage to threads.
also i have a 30mm socket with this 2 gt breaker bar that i took the rubber handle off and sipped a piece of galvanized pipe over it to give a longer lever- easy peasy, then some light tapping on the axle end to push it back out of the trailing arm . Bearing looks fine- Attached thumbnail(s) |
