Pulling hub off driveshaft

(1/2) > >>

Pesky jones:
So, as title, how do people normally pull the hubs off the driveshafts, keeping the driveshaft in the gearbox? Embarrisngly, ive actually done it before when replacing my cv joint but have forgotten how… :ashamed: I seem to recall undoing the three bolts on the bottom of the wishbone knuckle, and then its blank.

Remove main hub bolt then the 3 bolts to the ball joint and pull the wishbone down.

Pesky jones:
@dazza wont the wishbone just pull down and pull nothing with it because its now not attached to the hub?

dazza:
Yes it will pull down when 3 bolts and hub bolts are removed.

Sorry, I meant how will doing that pull the hub off the driveshaft as the wishbone isn't attached to the hub once the bolts are removed?

EDIT: do you mean once the wishbone is out the way, ill be able to grab the disc and pull the hub towards me, and off the driveshaft?

I was under the impression it had to be tapped out
