  • Driver side outer CV Joint

    Good day people,

    I have to replace my outer joint driver side.
    Is this a straight forward job like any other car?

    Do I need special tools besides of the clam which is holding the rubber case.

    And does anybody know which socket I need to remove the large nut? (Which size)

    Thanks in advance!

    Greetings from Holland

    straight forward job,you don't even have to remove bottom ball joint. undo the driveshaft nut,either 30 or 32mm,then take out the 2 bolts that hold the hub to the strut,then you can access the outer joint

        Good day.

        Can you tell me if I also do not need to disassemble what is on the first picture? Don’t know the word in english.

        And the second picture which I marked yellow, do you mean these with nuts of the strut and hub?

          No,you don't need to touch the steering controls,just the big driveshaft nut first, then the 2 bolts to remove which you've circled in yellow. the whole hub will flop outwards ,allowing room to change the cv joint

              the end of the driveshaft may need a little tap,to dislodge from the hub after you've removed the big nut and the 2 strut bolts
