CV Removal Help
Okay well I finally got around to installing the new CV joints on my 2006 Liberty that I bought and I have encountered a small issue.
I cannot get the CV out. It seems to have fused with the hub. I have tried WD40, and even an axle puller as pictured, and it simply does not move. With the puller, its so tight that I feel that if I try turning it more, something will break and kill me. I also thought I may have missed something, such as a pin, but I cant see any sign of a pin. I also have yanked on the hub and the CV doesn't pop out of the transmission either, so I am guessing that'll be seized also. WTF. What do I do...... |

They can get very seized, try shocking it with a hammer, also try spray some wd40 or the like in there, tighten the nut, undo and repeat a few times, can help to loosen up
If the gearbox side doesn't have a pin you will have to use a pry bar to pop it out, they have a circlip that holds it in place Also are you trying to remove the shaft from the hub without the gearbox side of the shaft removed? |

It will come out with heat. Get an oxy and heat it up(make sure the axle is dry or you may turn into the human tourch) if the car has a pin holdin the shaft in at the gear box that pin will need to be knocked out. If it doesn't then you will loose gear box oil.

I dont have an oxy. Can I get one of those butane torches from bunnings? Will that damage anything else?

Do not hit the shaft with a hammer as it will mushroom am you won't get the nut back on.if you have a brass punch then use that to hit it or put the nut back on and hit the nut

I have a brand new CV here to use. Couldn't care less if the old shaft gets a bit damaged.
I just want the thing out. |
