Crunch time: How to remove rear axle CV PLEASE!!!

janek · 05-05-2006, 08:09 PM

After a whole lot of running around before i put my car up on stilts to have a look at the damage, it turns out i had smapped my drivers axle, just at the base of the first CV.

all in all, its fine, BUT! i cant remove the broken off stub from the hub assembly!

is there some sort of trick, or am i just rooted?

Please, i need help... even in the form of a scan from the apppropriate pages from a worksop manual!

thanks in advance

Janek

I had fun trying to get the axle seal off the axle itself ... and the related bearing as well ... it was a PITA. I didn't break and axle though ... just had a stuffed seal that was leaking all over the brake/hub/wheel.

I'd need to look at it to see what you are talking about though.

But from memory it was something along the lines of using a massive hammer and a cold chisel. And a lot of elbow grease ... also an old towel ... with the help of someone else too. And a vice.

*shakes head* will be getting someone else to do that job next time.

janek,
my scanner drivers seem to be fubared but I've *got* to get it up and running tonight.

I've got a Gregory's w/s manual and will post you the relevant pages later, if you still need them.

If so, pm me an email addy.

cool, thanks heaps man...

ive tried everything. eben the hydraulic press doesnt budge it.. as for the replacement axle, i pulled that out of the hub without too much of an issue!

:S

OK janek that's done. Sorry about the size but I figured you'd rather the whole section than wondering if there's bits missing.

Good luck with it.

edit: looks like it didn't like the size. I'll send each page separately.
