[bionic]

need abit of help on idea's on how to remove the drive shaft everything is off but im having trouble removing the shaft its self as im needing to replace the wheel bearing ive tried wd 40 and smacking it with a hammer and a rubber mallet but im having no luck atall

is it safe to use a blow torch on the shaft? or am i missing something

Halfords shock and lock works a treat as I did it on my passenger side couple of months ago, but when you rebuild it use copper slip will make the job 100 times easier next time

I put the whole hub off and put it on a bench and beat it then

well the good news is i got it off but i also had trouble getting off the bottom ball joint but i just undone it from the wishbone this side is trashed im needing to replace the bottom ball joint , wheel bearing, top suspension rubbers all this just because i got tracking done and found the car to drive worse after i left the garage
