Just wondering if theres any tips on how to install the outer CV joint onto the shaft????
The part i had trouble with is the getting the circlip to depress so i could push cv joint onto shaft!!!!
I spent an hour with 2 of us with 3 small screwdrivers pushing it in but could not for the life of me get the cv joint on.....
I finally gave up and went up road to cv joint who did it in around 10 min for $15

WHAT IS THE BLOODY SECRET TO THIS?

thanks

so how do you get the circlip to depress and slide cv joint over it without using 2 people
I cant see how it can be done without at least 3 screwdrivers pushing in on circlip
can it be done?

much easier to pay for the whole cv drive shaft and have it fitted

"you break/force apart and remove the circlip " then use a new one

this is the outer link plenty of info in the web
