Remove Outer CV joint from hub carrier - HELP PLEASE
Hundred replied to Hundred's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Yes the hub nut is off, I am actually considering just cleaning it out and rebooting it, it's only my fishing car anyway so doesn't get much use -
I am trying to remove the outer Cv from my hub carrier to change the complete driveshaft, however, i have come a cropper as the outer CV will not budge. I have tried soaking in plusgas, heat, tapping, then resorting to 'controlled whacking' all to no avail. I have removed the hub carrier from the car and the drive shaft from the CV so I could have a go on the bench. I had the same problem when doing the other side and tried using a hydraulic press but that ended up snapping the hub so I ended up having to buy a new hub and dont want to repeat that if I can help Can anyone give me any help or are there any 'special tools' on the market for this? Thanks graham

Hi I have noticed that my car is making a grating / knocking sound from what appears to be the nearside front footwell area when turning left under acceleration (wheel has reduced load). I have checked the usual CV joint and bushes etc but can see noting out of the ordinary, can anyone advise me if I have missed something? Thanks Graham

Gonna give that a shot, thanks for the advice

I have a 2.0 petrol octavia AQY engine and the temp gauge only registers a temp above 50 deg c rarely. It sometimes does it if left idling but in general driving it is very rare. I changed the stat today hoping that would cure it but no change. I checked the old stat and it is fine. Is there anything else I should be looking at? Thanks Graham
