Front CV joints - which end CV (inner/outer) comes off
Hi,
I am stripping, or trying to strip the front drive shafts on my D3 to fit new CV boots. Rears were a doddle - shaft and CV/rollers come out of the inner CV bell and you do both CV boots from that end of the shaft.
When I moved on to the front it was not that simple - Inner CV does not slide out of it's bell - there is what looks like a peening mark on each race that stops the CV from being with drawn from the bell -see highlighted below:
Then had ago at driving the CV star off the shaft at both ends - no luck. Decided to stop and find out which end is actually removable before I damage it.
So the question - Which end(CV) of a D3 front drive shaft is meant to come of the shaft - inner CV or outer CV?
Thanks!
