Getting the joints apart Posted by Gene N [Email] (#1094) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gene N) on Thu, 4 Apr 2019 05:40:24 In Reply to: Re: CV joint boots - don't waste time with Rein boots!, skibumm100 [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 4 Apr 2019 04:54:11 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It has been a very long time since I've done this (1991 9000T), but I think the way to get the extra hand is to clamp the CV joint in a bench vise or a Workmate (Black & Decker TM). Obviously, you can't just crank the jaws down on the joint spline and expect it to fit into the hub anymore. Use a couple layers of leather to keep from damaging the spline and two screwdrivers to pry apart the C-clip. There is also a plier you can get with two flat jaws that push apart when you close the handles that works.
