Pulling hub off driveshaft

<< < (2/2)

I was just about to say I've done that job before, it's in my thread - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,89715.msg907250.html#msg907250

Then I realised no I haven't.. Maybe I did on the old polo  :rolleye:

Anyway, the thread has photos to refresh your thought Pesky!

Well you kind of have done the job in that thread, as part of changing of the CV boot (you gave me a lot of help when I did mine, probably wouldn't have managed it without your help, thanks again!).

So you took the hub nut, the three bottom bolts out and then put a socket through the hub, resting on the drive shaft, and tapped it? Does the driveshaft have room to move backwards out of the hub then? I would have thought the hub would have to come forward opposed to the drive shaft going backwards.

I might film stuff I do now so I can rewatch a year later when I forget  :signLOL:

I removed the nuts and left the bolts in there hence having to pull the wishbone down.  :signLOL:

Then pull the hub off the drive shaft.

Pesky jones:
So, both of you separated the wishbone from the hub (definitely remember doing this)

Then, luke knocked the driveshaft out the back of the hub with a socket

Dazza pulled the hub away from the driveshaft and off the driveshaft.

At least if I try one and it doesn't work I can try the other :)

On my other car it would not pull off so i put the hub nut in a little and tapped it with the hammer. A socket would be better.
