Can't remove driveshaft from the hub o/s, Any Suggestions?


Recommended Posts

In the process of attempting an overhaul on my drivetrain but I'm struggling to remove the near side driveshaft. I went and bought a hammer, and then I bought a bigger hammer but to no avail.

Is it going to be a replacement hub or does anyone have any suggestion to remove it without going down that route.

Seen this a few times lol. Normally caused by the retaining clips on the inside. Put the drive shaft in a vice with the cv joint you want to remove facing the floor pull down gently on the cv joint just to remove the slack ( in out movement) then a few swift hits with a fair sized hammer. Average club hammers my choice. Make sure you tap it down evenly around it so it comes off straight. That's how to get them off but I'm not going to lie and say there's an easy way because there's not.
