hello all,

my 02 jetta is giving me some issues on removing both the driver and passenger side Drive axles. I have got the 6 triplebit bolts on both sides out and the Axle nuts removed. on the driver side I removed the 3 ball joint bolts but the outter cv joint will not budge. did I miss a step or is that press tool I see being used on all data needed?

<-- that thing

Im about read to remove the steering knuckle and bring it to ATI and have the bloody thing pressed out.... cause PB and a 3lb sledge hitting the nut on it isnt doing me a lick of good


Please help

If your hitting it make sure the nut is on the front of the threads I beat my threads in and had to replace the axle because of it, but your on the right track thing to beat it out

Yup beat it. About to do my 3rd set In a year. Had to beat them out every time

im replacing them anyway so damaged sustained isnt gonna matter, so long as the hub bearings dont get damaged. but ty, Ill keep beating the ever loving mess out of it till it pops out.

so I got sick of trying to beat it out, I tried using a 3 jaw 2 ton puller to push it thru... it workish..... took a 2nd puller cause the 1st one broke

<--- see, thats either a crappy made OEM 2 ton puller or I some how hit that 2 ton limit.... I ended up having to cut it off the hub... the other side is giving the 2nd puller a run for its craptastic money too, broke that one. thinking a BIGGER puller is needed

so, I got this tool from AutoZone part #27037 http://www.autozone.com/autozone/ac...-hub-puller/_/N-264n?itemIdentifier=2050_0_0_
and that little bad boy knocked out the CV in less time then it took to set it on there. 26$ to rent the tool too... I highly recommend it to the old fashion beating it out deal.
