Hi all !

Can anybody pls try to explain how to remove CV joint and put a new one ?!
I got the cracking sound when turning to a side...

and 2nd question, what is the size of the bolt on a hub (2-A in the pic) ?
The biggest socket I have is 33, but is still small...

Bravo 2.0 HGT MK2, with ABS.

Tnx !

I think its 34mm.

Undo the inner gaiter, remove the top bolt from the upright, loosen the bottom bolt. You should now be able to get the shaft out of the inner cup. Assuming 'dry' inner joint.

That will allow you to get the whole shaft out and do the CV joint on the bench.

im doing the cv joint now on a sceicento sporting iv managed to get it off but i cant seen to get it back on, everytime i try the retaining pin on the shaft slips out of place any ideas plz????

On the HGT I suspect the nut will probably be 36mm. This is the standard size that Fiat/Alfa use on their bigger shafts. A complication is that you normally need a thin-walled socket to fit inside the hub. I have a socket I bought 25 years ago,that I had the outer edge turned down to fit. It was originaly for a Lancia Beta, but it's served me well for Alfas, Fiats and peugeot/citroen. It'll be 3/4" drive by the way. So you'll need a 3/4 drive bar as well. ( and a lenght of pipe to fit over the end to stand on if it's tight.

36mm mate i bought one other day
