Hi ever one not been on for quite awhile I’m getting a bit older but still got my old 2005 RR v8 still on road
don’t drive it much now but as usual has to have mot my last mot couple of advises of front brake flexes and ace boot
decided to get down to it whilst it’s warm. Anyway less of the chit chat and down to business,done brake hoses
and as per manual want to remove drive shaft from hub followed manual to the letter got puller as referred to in
manual and pros seeded to attempt to pull off slimes ,that’s as far as I got it will not slide off the splines.
Right I have now removed full hub and it on the bench , with hub spline facing upwards sprayed with penetrating fluid and left over night put puller back on and st won’t slide off, can I put it in a press or will I do it damage ? According to the instructions should just push the cv joint out of hub , has any body done this and had same problem thanks in anticipation
of your replies Oldduffer
 
When i pulled my front hub off the shaft, i just wound the puller and bashed it with a big hammer until it came off. I was quite brutal with the puller
 
Thank you for replies will get my son to swing hammer, but as I have always been as gentle as possible
with my RR I felt it would pay me back for abusing it,I have had from 3000 miles with only silly things going wrong 🥹people say I’m lucky
 
Hi still trying to get shaft out of hub I have removed hub hopping it would have been easier but no taking to a friend ho has a large press and see what tha does I am attaching some pictures of my home made puller its
Far more substantial than the one the
manual shows and hammered up with windy gun and bashed have new velocity joint did not see point of putting back after all the bashing
