the way ive got the cv cups out of the gearbox is with a hammer and punch with the gearbox on the table. what you can do is seperate the drive shaft and cv jont out of the cv cup. i have a spare set of hubs and drive shafts if you need them |

there should be a little metal cir clip that fits into the recess of the cv cup shaft about 3/4 of the way down. if this is missing then that might be why it keeps falling out |

heel bar or a large screwdriver gets them out of the gearbox buddy...as for the hub end. my suggestion would be. take the hub off the car. and put it in a vice. ive used big gearbox bearing pullers to give it a decent seat the ones ive got out ive used either a 7lb copper mallet..which normally does it without burring them over....or...in one case i had to use a press...i think it got to about 20t before it let go! provided you support things properly its not a problem...dont gas axe it...the heat transfer wont do the bearings any good. |
