Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
Quote:
Okay, now, didn't get a chance to work on it for a while, and this morning when I tried to pull the axle out of the differential, it appears that it disconnects inside the CV boot. Which, if correct, means I need to remove the CV boot, preferably without damaging it. So, how do I safely take off the boot band in order to remove the boot, and am I going to have to get a new boot band or will I be able to remove it without damaging it? |

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
Just grab a pry bar and pop the CV axle out from the diff. You should not need to take off the boot to get the axle out and you should not be yanking on the axle in such a way that it could mess up the joint in the first place. The inner CV joint slides to change the length of the axle.

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
Yep. Just don't be too rough with it. I remember the driver's side one being quite a bit more difficult to pop out than the passenger side (they are a little different). I used a crowbar, came right out.

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
should just pop out and in with smooth firm pressure. don't "hammer" or "jerk" at them.

They aren't like the fronts, where they just slide out after the spring pins are removed.

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
Okay, I got it out, thank you! Got the stupid bolt out, got the new lateral arm in and the bolt back in. Is there anything special I need to do to pop the axle back in or do I just apply force to the hub? Tap with a hammer or steady push?

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
Steady push. Getting it in is a different challenge, since you can't really "pry" it in.

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
Okay, it's finished, the car's back together, I have a feeling I'm running a LOT of negative camber on my left rear wheel, but otherwise it seems to be sound. One question. What's this thing for?
I put it back on but it seems pretty pointless. |

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
How big is that thing? Doesn't look familiar.

Re: Bent rear "toe-in" rod
It's about two inches in diameter. It covered the nut at the front of the inner mount for the front lateral arm. Had a special washer with for tabs to hold it on.
