Vid Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi, I have successfully removed the passenger side, but the driver side is the problem. I have removed all of the bolts, 6 x 14mm diff side and 32mm hub nut, and tied up the driveshaft so it doesn't drop. The problem is that I can't push the wheel hub end of the shaft through, it seems stuck, the passenger side was persuaded with a rubber mallet, but the other side doesn't want to budge. Has anyone else experienced this, how did you get round it? Any tips or tricks for freeing it up so I can push it through. Thanks in advance.

Jack94 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Use a hub puller to push the driveshaft out? Or use the old fashioned cowboy method of 2 copper hammers and give it a good whack (make sure you put the nut back on loosely to protect the threads).

ZMANALEX Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Will just be sticking on the splines. As Jack has said, put the nut back on flush and give it a good whack with a heavy hammer. Once you have broken the seal slacken off the nut a few threads and go again. Then remove the nut and use a 1" brass/aluminium drift or similar to knock it through. Best to get an extra pair of hand to hold the drive shaft in a horizontal position when you are chapping away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks both. I’ve suspended the shaft itself so it won’t just drop when I free it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
