Step 6 - Remove 6 hex headed bolts from Drive shaft inner CV Joint and free from final drive unit (cover with plastic bag to protect from dirt and tape up). You can also remove from back of hub if you wish - I didn't as 2 had just been replaced and the other ones where F*****g tight and I didn't want to strip threads or round the heads. | |
