CV Joint Problem

[terryc101]

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this. Need to get this tripod joint of the driveshaft to fit a new inner cv boot but have never seen one held on like this before (only ever seen a circlip used) how do i remove it?

Thanks

You will have to grind out the deformed bits of the spline to get it off. This is why you cant by joints etc for clio's as the joints are effectively not replaceable. Have fun, id suggest buying a new shaft and getting a good second hand one. the only other way i can think of doing it is to take the out CV off and slide the new inner CV up the shaft if it will stretch over.

Wouldn't it be easier just to buy a stretch fit boot and a cone & lube? 5 minute job then.

ps I know nothing of the 1*2 setup, so this may not even be possible of course so ignore me if necessary!
