There's a little ring in a grove at the end of the shaft. This has to be compressed in order to withdraw the shaft from the cv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Normally, you just tap it off. Sometimes the clip gets jammed in there are you need some serious brute force. Be careful if you are keeping the CV as they are brittle and will crack if hit sharply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 The cv joint and shaft have to be in a straight line in order to seperate them the easiest. Don't hit the cup, but rather the inner ball track. This puts pressure directly on the clip that retains the shaft, and hopefully 'shocks' the clip into it's groove to allow the two to seperate. Les.
