Now I understand what they mean by stub shaft! Yippee - I couldn't figure out how you press a 20 inch shaft with a const. vel. joint through the wheel bearing (whew). Least this message is good for a laugh.

The bearings have nothing to do with the removal of the half shaft. Just remove the 6 allen type bolts that secure each end of the CV joint and remove from car. That easy.


Honestly - how do you remove the half shaft through the rear bearing without a tool? Does it split at the velocity joint and you only have to push eight inches of shaft through the bearing?
