Hello all!
As the subject line says I have a 2000 Legacy Outback that has the
front inner cv boot torn and grease coming from it. I figure that if I
can get the whole assembly out I can take it to a rebuild shop that
specializes in CV's and get them to rebuild it for a lot less than the
dealer wants for his part. It appears as though the transmission end is
simple - just remove the roll pin and then hopefully it will slide off
of the splined shaft. My concern is getting the shaft out of the wheel
side. The bearings are pressed into the piece that holds the brake
caliper. Does the shaft just slip through the bearing? Once
disconnected from the transmission can it just be pushed back through
to allow it to drop down and out? I really don't want to beat anything
with a bigger hammer so if anyone has done this and wishes to part with
their knowledge I certainly would appreciate it. Thanks and I await any
responses.
