c/v shaft
has anyone had any trouble removing or installing their c/v shafts?i've replaced the driver's side and it feels like it doesn't want to turn (brake is off as well).
i'm trying to change the pass. side now and i can't seem to get it in all the way so i tried to remove it again (maybe the clip is too stretched) and now it won't come out any suggestions on either problem? i've NEVER had this much difficulty changing c/v shafts! |

No - they should slide on and off the splines pretty easily.

Which side is stuck? (tranny or hub)
The reman axle I installed had a seal on it that shouldn't have been there. I didn't realize that until I tried to rotate the wheel and it was tough to turn.

the stuck side is the tranny end on the pass. side... come to think of it, the driver's side had a seal on both ends of it. that may be why that side is very difficult to turn.

what i think got it stuck is the clip on the spindle. i think it may have slipped, wedged, or otherwise broke out of it's place when i slid the spindle into the tranny.

You shouldn't need to pull the spline stub from the diff to change an axle. There is a roll pin that secures the axle to the spline stub. Normally one drives the pin out and the axle easily slides off of the splines. Reverse procedure to install.
