The CV joint in a 2000 Kia Sportage can be replace by roving the tires, axle nuts, and the knuckle bolts on the struts. Next, the CV joint can be removed by placing a screwdriver between the transmission and the CV joint will pop out.
how do you remove the transmission and cv axles on a 2004 kia rio ?
Here is the link to ehow on how to remove the CV joint on a 1991 Prizm. http://www.ehow.com/how_7906772_replace-geo-metro-cv-joints.html
Begin by removing the tire and wheel from your 1987 Honda. Remove the brake assembly and the brake rotor. Remove the CV joint retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install your new CV joint.
To replace your CV joint you will have to slacken your hub nut before jacking and removing the wheel. Remove hub nut, remove both bolts on the bottom of the shocky, remove bottom ball joint bolt. You should have enough play to remove your shaft from the hub. Remove CV boot, CV joint should just pull off shaft. I made the mistake of buying and fitting a full drive shaft unnecessarily.
Getting a new half axle might be the way to go on this one. It will probably be the next thing to go anyways
best of taking it to a mechanic
the car is totaled
Remove wheel and brake caliper, remove caliper frame and ABS cable.Separate tie rod end and ball joint from steering knuckle. Remove hub nut and pull knuckle away from outer cv joint. Insert a thin pry bar between cv inner and transaxle case and jerk it to loosen cv joint. Re-install in reverse order.
ive got a 1997 plymouth mini van and cant get the cv joint out of the trans any help ?
its so easy -- you tube has the basics -- if you can do a turnup you can change the cv- halfshaft
On the cv joint attached to the front differential, if you take off the boot, in front of the bearing, there is a cir clip. If you remove the cir clip the whole cv joint slides out of the differential. Have fun...
