Hi

I do not have a manual at the moment and I am trying to remove the off side outer cv gaiter and replace it with a new one. I cant see how the outer cv comes off the drive shaft. Does anyone know if there is a clip holding inside it on and if so where. i have cleaned it all up inside the joint and I cant see anything.

Its currently on axle stands with the strut disconnected and the clips holding the rubber gaiter removed.

Its a 2000 V plate 1.2 8 valve 5 speed, if that makes any difference.

Any suggestions are welcome.

sharply strike the edge of the outer CV joint to release it from the internal circlip

Cheers Dave, I will now you have confired this is how its done. Just did not want to do this until I was certain you had to.

Edit: wrong thread!
