Front Disc Removal - Help needed!!

Post by ADAMD » Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:38 pm

Hi, I am replacing the outer front CV boot, following the fact sheet.
I have got to the bit that says 'remove disc'
Disc does not want to be removed, please can anyone help with the method.
Many thanks
Adam

This is where I am at:

Put the nut back on loosely, and tap it (with a piece of wood between)

Used to do it with Minis, worked a treat. Not tried on a Bongo, yet, but it should work OK.

Thanks guys, I needed a bit of confidence to hit it a bit harder.
Used larger hammer and came off no problem.

Thanks Again.

ps. I got the outer boot from local factors, anyone know if inner is the same or also available, they only had outer listed.

Hi Adam,
you should be able to obtain a ball joint boot from your local motor factor,giving them the pysical dimentions will help..

Thanks Teenmal, I didnt think the ball joint boot was replacable, Is it easily done?
That would save a major headache, although I do need the next size up joint splitter!!

Thanks

Hi Adam,this will give you an idea,scroll down the page.You dont need a splitter,just give the carrier a sharp blow on the rounded edge,remove the nut first.

That looks a great solution thanks.

Which bit do you mean by the carrier?

Thanks

This bit, 33-020 they call it a knuckle.

If you look at the bit that the ball joint fits into,give the rounded side facing the centre of the van a sharp smack right on the centre of the carrier(round bit),the ball joint should jump out.If you are not too sure use a splitter.
Cheers.
