CV Boot replacement Useful Tip!

[toku58]

I finally got around to doing it. So here's a tip!
Don't pound the tripod bearing off like the manufacture recommends.

Get a 3 jaw 4" gear puller!

Makes reomving the tri-pod bearing really easy!

I still don't understand why anyone would pound the crap out of the axle just to get that bearing off.

Every shop I spoke to, said that's how they do it.

I can't believe no one questioned it? (Pounding the tri-pod bearing seemed STUPID)

Here's the PDF:

The instructions clearly tell you to pound it off using a "Brass Bar".

The gear puller made it so easy.:thumbsup:

I wanted to let you guys know before others start pounding the crap out of their bearings.

I maybe doing a DIY on this? If I do I'll post it up on TN.

Good Luck!
