CV Joint

Postby NC53 » Tue Jan 18, 2022 11:21 pm

So, replaced a wheel bearing on my 2007 Connect and noticed the threads were damaged on my N/S/F CV joint. Decided to remove the driveshaft with a view to replacing the CV joint. Problem is, can I heck get the CV joint separated from the shaft. Sure there will be a snap ring in there but it does not want to move. Beginning to think it is not a serviceable item even though the internet is awash with replacement CV joints.

Anyone else had the same problem and how did you get it apart?

Update - eventually got the cv joint apart but it was a nightmare and slightly damaged the splines on the shaft in the process. There was a snapring in there holding it together which did not want to budge. My conclusion is it is not designed to be replaced. Fitted a new driveshaft in the end!
