After removing the four star bolts from the outer CV joint (at the wheel), I removed the axle with the circlip, cage and balls in place (which are all in good shape). However, the CV joint "hub" itself (with the two guide pins) has not budged from the "wheel hub flange".
With the inner CV joint (next to the transaxle), the hub is totally exposed and a few taps with a hammer and then careful prying with a screwdriver and the hub comes right off the "transaxle flange". But since the outer hub is located deep inside the suspension arm, it is difficult to get to. Any advice, tips, or tools that may help me break this thing loose? |

You usually need to pull the stub axle to get the required leverage to pry the roll pin's hold loose. Once the 30mm bolt is off, the stubs usually push out without too much effort.
You will not destroy the bearing by removing the stub, provided you do not put weight on the wheel while the stub is out. If you do, the hub will start to come out, and usually take the inner race of the bearing with it. |
