Bugger! What a pain in the a***................HELP

[KarlT]

Bloody hell. Been back to stripping my drive-shafts down.
Can I get the front outer one off? Can I fv#k!!! Spent hours pi$$ing about with it. I can't spred that little spring-clip & hit it at the same time.
CV looks pretty battered, like someone else had ago but gave up & just replaced the grease. Tempting but CV only wants to move in one direction.

Whats the answer?......Big hammer?....

if your replasing the joint any way brake the bearing race out the middle with a chiesel so the balls fall out, will come apart easy then Or am i just a butcher?

Try spreading the clip with a small flat blade screwdriver then point it to the floor and whack it with a lump hammer

I used a tool like this last time I did CV joints, made life much simpler than having clips springing off all over the place.

Its off!!

Had to cut through cage, balls fell out, Outer case came off. Giving easier access to inner ring & clip. Scaffold bar over shaft & give it some wellie. How gay does all that sound?

Took 20 minutes, why didn't I do that the other day!!
