P38A Outer cv joint front

[stuu]

mine appears to be letting heaps of grease out and is torn.
How much of a job is it?
Wheel breaks and upper and lower balljoint and hub off aye?
Thanks

 

[Grrrrrr]

Not too bad. I did a write up in the How To or Technical Archive section. I think the photosgot lost when the site moved but there is Word document version in Google Docs.

No need to touch ball joints, just whip the hub off. Plenty of Plusgas and a hammer - real Landy work.

Yeah, not bad. The hardest part is getting the hub off. Don't rush that part. Plusgas, cup of tea while it soaks, score round edge with screwdriver or punch or similar, back the bolts off and then hammer bolts. Repeat about 3 times and it'll suddenly go and you're away.

And dont forget to remove the ABS sensor before you remove the hub.

Get new collars for them as well. Mine were seized in the carrier so had to be destroyed to get the hub off. New sensors and collars fitted and I elongated the hole in the dust cover so that if I ever have to take the hubs off again the sensors can stay in place

Might just need pushing in all the way. They need a white grease.
