I've had about seven or eight French cars in the past few years, they have all been a horrible experience to work on. I have an AX and some of the jobs I've had to do on that have been ridiculously difficult - speedo cable, door locks, cv joints, ugh.
I did it exactly as shown in the video and I was able to remove the half-shaft joint after several days of unsuccessful attempts. Thank you very much for the idea and the video!
Your video helped me out. I have a 2006 Audi A3 and the CV joint was stuck onto the axle. I used CV joint puller (no luck). I tried to hammer it off (per the manual), but it wouldn't budge. I ended up doing exactly what you showed using an angle grinder. I wouldn't had thought of this so thanks!
The ring on the drive shaft compresses when you hit the ball carrier off the shaft, you do not have to cut and grind it free. Use a punch and hit the ball carrier next to the shaft with shaft in a vise, using a 3 pound sledge, it will come right off, maybe 3 taps. I understand your putting a new CV joint on an existing shaft, but lots easier to hit off. And what if all it needs is a new boot, dont waste your time and money.
Luckily I did not believe this video to be true. Outer cv-joint came loose from the shaft with a light tap on the innermost part. This was the original part on a 2006 Ducato camper. Also the replacement boot from Löbro came with a new round wire retainer.
What a complete balls up you made of that! I do Citroen Peugeot and Renault everyday and never seen such a long winded way around a simple CV joint removal.
@nevinkuser9892 The first thing you do is put the shaft in a vice,and yes, I know he said he didn't have one, but that's no excuse. I use a CV joint puller that bolts to the shaft. It takes seconds to remove it. Depending on what shaft and CV joint I'm removing I have a set of Circlip players that holds the clip open for Easy joint removal. If you are doing the joint it pays to have the proper tools.
Lol i just hit the broken cv joint with hammer and it came off 100% of the axle. And the whole thing was still attached to the car. Im just taking whole cv axle off from another citroen Im figuring out how to remove the middle support.
not sure... a bought an SKF CV shaft for my Volvo V70. the rubber boot is broken and I need to replace it again. but I only bought a CV joint instead of a full axle. FAG joint is a normal clip, but I need to be removed the old SKF joint in the same way
Hi Gui, Dependent on your CV Joint manufacturer and car. This is the proper way to do it when you do not have the access to the metal ring locking the Joint in place - especially if you do not want to damage CV Axis. If you have a better way please share it. A lot of people will be grateful for that. Cheers
I've always managed to knock it past the splines by rotating and tapping with a drift. I've got a boxer to do so I'll put a video up when I get round to it.
@@MrJohnandMargie Did you ever shoot the video of how to take these apart. Question I have is if you cant take it apart they couldn't put it together...or at least that is my thinking. Thank you
Strange and wrong way of doing it. To remove the CV joint from the axel you simply hit it a few times in the direction from the inner to the outside of the axel. It sits the same way a socket sits on the square tap the ring will compress when forced outwards OVER the ring. This way is dangerours and not advicable and could not be done with the driveshaft in the car. If you ran a garage and do it this way the customer have to pay 3-4 times more for time consuming way of doing the job.
@@nevinkuser9892 i can recommend checking some official SKF CV joint replacement videos. they do the same way and this is how the manufacturer recommend the remove it...
@@fordoverholden +1 on that. I had a nightmare experience trying to remove CV joint on Citroen C3 MY2004. At first I was trying to get it off while axel was on the car. Taping didn't help. Then I removed axel. Took bigger hammer, still no mowement. Simply had to cut it with the angle grinder at the end. My patience simply disappeared after fighting for 2 hours with the damn thing.
@@Igorpavlovic11 Haha thanks m8. And all what you said that exactly what I went through aswell, the local macanic can do the otherside. One day I'll treat myself to a C.V pulley!!!.
The retainer clips in these cv axles have a square cross section, so they are not like axle stubs that just pop off. You can access the retainer clip from the shaft side of the CV joint, spread them so they are no longer captive in the groove, then tap the joint off. Some times the joints are really seized on those splines. This indeed looks like an April fool’s joke
1° you don´t need to drain all the gear oil, just pool out the axel, catch the oil that´s spils out, about 1lt, so that you don´t have to refill the hole thing. 2° you don´t need to destroy the CV joint, it´s most likely perfectly fine, just give it one good dry hit on the edge and it will separate despite the retainer ring inside. It´s a nightemare the amount unnecesary work you do.
You have probably never come across a terribly designed CV joint. I was replacing the joint on my dad's car and the locking ring got wedged in there, in a way that made it completely impossible to get out. The inner part of the gear that carries the balls wasn't tapered properly so the ring would make it stuck. Only solution was to cut the housing open and get it off. The inner gear was removed by inserting needles that would compress the ring while pulling the geat off the splines. Don't be a smartass
Rather than do this I would buy a whole new drive shaft. You get new joints and boots and a warranty. Complete shafts are not that expensive and they are so much easier to remove as a whole and then replace. Saves so much time and faffing.
Do ring really needed in cv joint? It was pain in the ass when putting in new cv joint with ring.. so instead i assembly the joint with no ring but car runs fine
Can you do how to fix horn mine works when i pres 2 times lock button on the key but when i press on stering wheel just not working and thanks for all your videos
In a lot of 3rd world countries we don't have the luxury of changing the whole thing because it's either not available or the cost is so excessive that it's triple or quadruple the price of doing it this way. In my case buying a whole axle is quadruple the price. Indonesia doesn't have AutoZone. I'm American and live in Indonesia. I miss everything being so cheap and easy. Don't take it for granted! Trust me!
Full of wannabee mechanics on here that don't understand that not all CV joints are removable with the usual method or using a puller. Some are a nightmare and have to it cut out or replace the full shaft. Most of the folk saying this is a laughable way to remove a CV joint are obviously not mechanics, if they were they would have came across this issue time to time. The 307 and 207 and Renault kangoo are common for this
He is of course going to install a new one. The video is just his way off removing the old one. It's ok I guess. Just the longest possible way of doing it.
Im in shock. This is no way to remove a cv Joint. Why dig around trying to remove bearings (not bolts) when a sharp hit with a hammer and wood drift will separate the entire joint from the Shraft? Duh!
Hi Борис, Heater Control Bypass Valve controls coolant flowing through heater core - controls passenger inside area temperature. I think this is only fitted on the Diesel cars. Do you have a diesel? Cheers
You would have more chance of asking if he has had a Lobotomy ? Never in my 50 years in the motor trade seen such Horrible Practices like this Bod-git Job !!🤡
I have one I'm trying to get off but maybe I'll just run it through a pre-made axle I built at home. For a sand rail. It's a bitch but I guess I'll just clean it and re grease it instead of hammering on it
Wrong way don’t hit it with a chisel what a nut job and cut it why 🤷♂️ , remove C clip and tap with a dead blow hammer new grease and boot or replaced with assembled joint
Hi great videos can you u show how too change the transmission oil change and also I think comment last how too clean remove water tank expansion. Thanks
Sorry, this isn't a good instruction video. Removing the CV joint from the shaft is much easier and safer by simply using a hammer and popping the joint off. Sorry to the video maker. This isn't the best way.
i have never seen such a daft way to remove a pug Citroen cv joint in all my years of replacing cv joints on these .. my god its unbelievable

That doesn't work on all CV joints, apparently. Some CVs do not have a chamfer machined in the iinner CV hub that compresses the ring.
He just likes using the grinder
A wood drift on the inner collar, Held tightly on the shaft and hit with a club hammer, within two or three whacks it will be free and Undamaged !
Just hit it with the club hammer
Dokładnie
Thanks! I was racking my brain thinking about what to hit it with. A 2x4 or old wood cutting is an excellent choice! Very helpful.

I will be greasing and cleaning my shaft later!
kid has no idea.just tap the cv joint off whith a rubber mallet it just pops off DONE.

A mechanics time will cost so much that perhaps it's cheaper just to let them change the the entire cv shaft?
