Its weird. 2 of my cv bolts seem soft and stripped. They all look original - as is the whole assembly. I've got all the rest out and need to get these 2 out now!
Any brilliant ideas? Oh, I've got one - Dont sit in a puddle of brake cleaner! I burnt my behind. I had to run in and take a shower! =O |

Inner: Vise grips or hammer and chisel nearly tangential to edge of head.
Inner: Either remove axle and repeat above or weld a nut onto the head and use socket to get it out. The welding deal is such a hassle in my experience that it is easier to pull the axle and stub together if its the outer cv bolts. Just a reminder, if you pull the stub, don't roll the car around a bunch as the stub axle keeps the wheel bearing together. |

i worked some out with an air chisel on the corner and bassically turned the bolt until it was loose, then finished up by hand. Mark |

well they're free. I beat the tool as deep as I could onto the bolt then pushed as hard as I could while I tried to turn it. Luckily, it worked. I didn't really want to break out the welder, but it was next. I was gonna weld the tool to the bolt.

QUOTE Just a reminder, if you pull the stub, don't roll the car around a bunch as the stub axle keeps the wheel bearing together. ...uh oh... I guess this means I'll be replacing my rear wheel bearings! I didn't realize it was that vital to the assembly. I've had the axles out for quite a while as I'm doing body work, and the car has been rolled in and out of the garage quite a bit as needed for sandblasting. Oh well, I'm pretty sure I screwed up one wheel bearing when I was removing them, so I guess I'll just get them both replaced. I was prolly gonna need to do it anyway. |
