The outer CV joint is out of the hub and so the drive shaft if free at the outer end. The inner end has five flange bolts removed but one has had the head drilled out. i have knocked the inner flange with a hammer and tried to get wd 40 into the flange.

I'm trying to remove the drivers side drive shaft off my Skoda Fabia 1. I have removed five cv flange bolts and the sixth one i have drilled the head off using a 8mm drill bit and so there is a bolt stub that i will remove later. I have removed the outer shaft ball joint but the drive shaft won't pull off the final drive. The inner cv joint to the final drive doesn't move at all and there should be some movement. I did drill the stub bolt a little bit move to be sure i could pull the shaft off the final drive. I don't think the stub bolt is the problem as there is no movement at all.

I had tried to fit it after drilling for a while and so i then tried to tap the M8 bit in but could not reach over and tap in in. I therefore decided just to drill it out. I'm using a new 10mm Cobalt drill bit with engine oil and put the drill to the slowest speed. I can't see any swath coming off. can it be done with the drill i'm using?

I have a spline one like that and tried to tap it in but i could could not get to it and so I'm drilling it out with a hand drill. It is taking a while to drill it out although i have bought a new carbonite drill bit.

I might damage the spline bit and i haven't got another one.

I bought a kit like that.

The five i removed i used a M8 spline bit but can't get it into the last bolt. It must be the same sise but i havn't damaged it.

I've removed five the bolts from the inner cv joint but the spline wont go into the bolt. I've tried cleaning it. I think I will have to drill it out. Has anyone else had this problem? thanks

I am putting a outer boot on a skoda Fabia 1 outer cv joint. I am trying to undo the inner cv bolts and I think they are a M10 triple square. I don't have this key but have some spline bits which look similar. Am I correct that the inner bolts are m10 triple square and what is the difference between that and a spline bit? can I use a spine bit? I also find that the is little room to undo the bolts. can anyone done this job with basic tools and can they advise on these matters. thanks richard.

After the outer CV joint is removed from the wheel hub, how should the cv joint be removed from the shaft? A You Tube video shows the hub bolt being screwed back into the cv joint and that removes it from the shaft but I think it is a different Skoda then my Fabia mark 1. On other cars I have had, I knocked off the cv joint off with a hammer but it might damage the inner joint on this car. I haven't got a special tool to do it. Will I have to unscrew the inner joint and then tap off the outer joint? thanks.

I am changing the front CV, outer joint, on my Skoda Fabia mark 1 - 2006. I need to get the Front Hub nut off and a You-Tube video shows a 36mm bi-hex Socket being used. I want to check on the Socket type and size as i need to buy the Socket. Please does anyone know the socket size.
