Oh no...........unless its my age now, but the clicking sound on the front wheel has got quite loud now.
CV joints, How easy are they to change?  Do I need any special tools
Are they expensive?

 :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

Any help??

Budgie:
Easy to change, no special tools and they cost about £30 a side.

The way I did mine was to remove the hub (complete with wheelbeaings & brake disk), remove the stub axle and you can pull the CV joint & halfshaft out.
The CV joint will come off the end of the halfshaft with a tap from a hammer as it's only held there with a spring clip.

Remember to check the wheelbearings while its apart and re-pack the bearings with grease befor you put it all back together.  :wink:

The other way to do it is to release the swivelhousing seal and take the top & bottom swivel pins out. Then the whole hub assembly & halfshaft can be removed from the axle. After which it's a case of removing the circlip on the drive flange and out comes the CV joint from the rear of the assembly.  :wink:

in theory it should bit in practice it doesnt due to the bush/bearing that the shaft runs on,

been there,tried it,cursed loads

tazman:
Thanx guys!!!
That'll help get Taz sorted   :(biggrin):  :(biggrin):

Wanderer:
Darren I don't know about the 300 but apparently the 200 series had 2 or 3 different CV joints with differing numbers of splines on the ends.

It might be worth checking if you're buying mail order.
