h reg 2oo tdi disco..160k.....
.. ns cv joint went bang last week.... ive pulled it apart this afternoon... its different to the axle in busters photo guide.... the drive flange has a splined shaft on it that pokes into the stub axle and cv joint.... the outer lump of the cv joint has come out leaving 6 balls and bits of broken metal in the swivel housing and theres a 6 pronged cog on the splined end of the half shaft....which the balls obviously sat in at some point, should this just pull off the halfshaft.... a gentle tug seems to want to pull the whole halfshaft out the diff .is this normal?
there wasnt any oil in the swivelhousing... but the bits were a bit greasy... how much grease should be put in on reassembly ... do they need regreasing after x thousand miles.... should i pull the other side apart to regrease it.?
