Just remove the circlip from the end of the shaft and then pull the boot back and tap the center part of the CV joint off while you hold the shaft up. Be careful not to damage the boot. Don't forget the Belleville washer goes on the shaft before you install the CV joint when you're reinstalling. I think there's a pretty good illustration of all of this in the Bentley manual. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
