Drivers side Driveshaft wont come out!! :@

[cazzac2222]

Really looking for some help and ideas on how to get the driveshaft out of the hub as mine is really pissing me off now!!!

ive taken exerything off that holds the driveshaft into the hub, the split pin, the nut cap and the 30mm nut and ive tried eveything and she still wont budge!!

Ive heated it up with the blow tourch and smashed the hell out of it and still not budged one bit!!

Is there anything stoping it from poping out, like a circlip on the back of the hub or what because the passengers side poped out nicely with hardly no effort at all :S

my last ressort is to take the driveshaft and hub out of the gearbox and go get the bitch pressed out.

So does anyone have any ideas on how to get the bad boy out hahah

Cheers lads, Zac

Had this same issue when replacing a CV joint on my Bros V, ended up carefully air chiseling the end of the shaft, and it popped out. Just takes some effort dude im afraid, there in tight to handle thee Powerz!

have u removed the bottom ball joint 2 nuts 1 bolt 14mm allows the hub to swivel out then give shaft a tap out of hub

[cazzac2222]

Cheers for that liam and lee, the full assembley is hanging off the car, i took the wishbone off instead of the ball joints mate, still no give what so ever and ive heated it and wacked the death out of it with a lump hammer, still no give :/

Anymore ideas??

Have you tried saturating everything with WD40? Try lube it up a bit.

[cazzac2222]

Yep tried that matey, i try to spray everything the night before im working on my car and it still not budging at all lol ohhh shes stiff in there alright hahah

[Liam_D]

Just keep hitting it mate! You must not be strong enough or summit

[cazzac2222]

Right well yesterday i won the battle of the killer seized driveshaft hahah shes finially come out but in doing this i destroyed the outer C.V :/

So yeah liam i am strong enough!!! I is well hard isn't it hahahaha

So the question i am now asking is, is the outer c.v's for the 98 spec glanza's the 23/30 tooth ones and also does the below link come with the abs ring, if not, what do you do to get the other off and on your new c.v??

can anyone explain the difference between the 23/30 and 23/23?

what does it mean?

[cazzac2222]

i think its simply the amount of teeth that are on the driveshaft itseft that goes into the c.v and the amount of teeth on the shaft that goes into the hub mate.

ive just had a quick count and it seems that there are 23 teeth on the shaft that goes in the hub and 30 teeth in the c.v that meets with the driveshaft.

Sooo im guessing i need the 23/30 c.v, but i just want to make sure??? ;)

[tez]

doesnt make sense to me

how can a 23 tooth shaft go into a 30 tooth hub? or is it 30teeth on the abs ring?

[cazzac2222]

No mate i think all the hubs have 23 teeth same as the shaft on the out c.v joint, although its the teeth on the driveshaft that there are two kinds of, the 23 teeth or the 30 teeth

Correct me if im wrong someone please

[tez]

surely if the hub is 23 teeth the shaft would have to be 23? to fit correctly?

so your saying

all hubs are 23 teeth

and shafts are either 30 or 23

So surely this would make this irrevently when ordering a CV as they would both fit?

i cannot get the jist of this, Maybe im having a bad day.

[tez]

ahh just realised the the shafts on these are different to my usual ones.

So its shaft which goes into a CV joint then a spline on the end of of the abs ring end?

comprende!

Ive been told by toyota most newer glanzas are 23/30mm unless they have been changed(shafts)

[cazzac2222]

Yep you got it matey, and yeah i need to order a 23/30 c.v joint ;)
