After using impact wrench to get the peskie bolts loose, I can't get the CV to turn loose of the wheel hub. "Gentle" tap on the ones at the transmission did the trick there. But can not get an good angle on the outboard ones. HELP

I had same exact issue, befuddled and gave up for the day, next day i just got int the best position I could on my back and yanked a couples times then rotated (the axel via the tire) an 1/8 turn and yanked more, just kept rotating and yanking just when I was done and felt I was a jerking fool... trying.... It yanked right off. Same thing other side just took alot of yanking and rotating, I am a novice and I got it in a long 40 minutes... "YANK & ROTATE" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

"YANK & ROTATE" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Looking at the book, it appears that the castellated nut is the only thing holding drive shaft in. I'm going to remove it and try a gentle tap. If it goes, I'll push it on through. If it is stuck I'll go for the "yank & rotate". I'm stuck with needing to get the shafts off as I want to flat tow the vehicle to a welding shop and then body shop before reinstalling the engine/transmission. Don't have this problem with the good old rear engined bay windows I have. |
