Front Disc Removal - Help needed!!

[ADAMD]

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:

[Northern Bongolow]

as far as im aware it should just slide off,it may be stuck so give it a clout from the back.

[wonkanoby]

yeah wack it

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.

Thanks,
Outer seems to be available everywhere, Inner not so - Jap spares on ebay seems only place to list inner

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.
