roger owen Posted May 29, 2010 Report Posted May 29, 2010 I have a noisy outer N/S CV (noisy on cornering). I have bought a new complete drive shaft that looks as though it just bolts on at the gearbox end. I have a photocopy of a repair manual (VW Sharon) - but the procedure seems very long winded and does not mention bolting on at the gearbox end. I've either been sent the wrong shaft or the manual refers to a different model (mine in a 2002 with 6 speed manual box). Does anyone have a simple guide for fitting? Thanks. Quote

I'd get yourself the Service manual from a well known aution site and read up on it. I had the replace the drive shaft oil seal at the gear box and it was a sh1t of a job as you have to remove the drivers side to knock the passenger through using a special tool through the diff. ( thats when a handy old man who can knock up a tool in the garage becomes invaluable!! The ford tool would be Quote
Willie Krashitt Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 The job is relatively easy as long as you have access to a long breaker bar and a GOOD socket set - the hub nut (27mm hex) needs to be tightened to 150Nm, then a further 90 Quote
