Hi guys ....
went to do the drivers side birfield today. ... nothing exciting there you may say ... but I could not for the life of me get the CV joint off the drive shaft ... is there a special way to do this .. the passenger one almost fell off with very little help from me. ..the drivers side (short side) has so far taken repeated thrashings from a huge sledge for it not to budge a nano-meter. ... I know the CV isn't stuck on the splines as there is a little play (about 3mm) before coming up against the clip thing on the end.
so it has been re-packed with as much cv grease as it will physically hold and put back inside the axle. ..
if anyone knows how to get them off (using basic tools .... nowt fancy here) then please do share your thoughts/opinions
ta muchly
