Guest tomo Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 how easy is it to replace ;) . and what if any are the pit falls :unsure Quote
Justice Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 As long as you know the basics in car repairs it is an easy job to do.Jack up car remove wheel,with the brake peddle pressed firmly down undo the hub nut (this has to be replaced with a new one) remove one of the bolts on the droplink bar,undo bottom ball joint and seperate the lower arm from the strut,take the old cv gator off and with a large club hammer or wooden malett give the cv jiont a heavty clout and it should pull apart from the drive shaft.(hold the shaft to stop it pulling out from the inner joint)Refitting is the same as you took apart, making sure you put the new bolt in to the right tourque.

Guest tomo Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 why do you have to hold down the brake peddle down :rolleyes: and do keep pressed down all the time Quote
Masked Marauder Posted February 17, 2006 Report Posted February 17, 2006 You need only have the brake pedal held firmly down when you loosen the hub-nut. And when you do it up again afterwards. If you don't have an assistant you do it with the wheel on and the car on the ground. Quote
