They usually come out the gearbox end

Exactly. Coming out the wheel end, as he says, unless I'm reading it wrong, is slightly more worrying

 

[Laura]

Id be worried that there was no nut on it mostly

 

[baynton1991]

yea its come out of the wheel end! i dont no how tho, just looks like it popped out of the hub???

 

[baynton1991]

if any of you gurus could shed sum light on how the f**k this has happened i would much aprreiciate it

 

[Laura]

There should have been a hubnut and split pin on the end of the cv joint..

 

[baynton1991]

i will get a pic up 2moro because its hard to explain. where the teeth on the drive shaft slide in to the teeth on the hub it just looks like its slid out????

 

[Laura]

Yeah there should be a big nut on the end of that to stop exactly that happening

 

[baynton1991]

just had a quick look and it seems that it has not cum out of the hub but come out where the cv boot is jubilee clipped on???
hope you understand what im trying to explain

 

[Laura]

So your cv joint has failed... Did that not make a horrific noise for a long time! Not a cheap fix im afraid you'll need a new joint which will most likely come with a full shaft

 

[baynton1991]

no nothing what so ever. it was just on full left lock and popped out, so how does the shaft stay connected into the cv joint?

Just get a recon shaft off ebay for peanuts.

Passenger side shaft removal means that all your gearbox oil will have to be drained first xxx

Unless you can jack the passenger side up very high

LOL thats the sort of challenge i like! i changed a clutch for a boy who was on a tight budget, 2nd hand clutch and done it without taking the shaft out the box and draining the oil lol!!
