Drive shaft removal Front

mikescuba · Aug 30, 2015

I'm trying to fit some heavy duty drive flanges on the front of my 1990, 110. I was under the impression that once the flanges were removed the shafts would slide out. I can't budge them. I have tried spinning the wheel, engaging gear disengaging it, diff lock on/ off, still can't budge them. I tried clamping them and pulling them out but I can feel one hitting something inside and it ain't going to come off. Am I doing something wrong ? Any suggestions.
I do have a bit of a vibration problem which I believe is coming from the front axle somewhere. I would like to remove the shafts, then try driving it to see if I can illuminate where the vibration is coming from.

Front drive shafts will not slide out you have some dismantling to do.
Take a look at the exploded view you will see that the CV joint is so large and part of the splined shaft you are trying to remove it will not cone through the wheel bearing.
The CV joint sits inside the swivel ball so it will be a hub off to get it out.

ps the rear ones will slide out.

Thanks, I have already tried that, I have in fact fitted a new front prop but still have the vibration.

Thanks for the advise. I will have to take another look at it next weekend.

Check transfer output and diff input bearing for up/down and sideways movement.

Thanks, I had tried that but they all seem tight. I couldn't budge it.
