Silly question...but how dose the axle/cv's come out? I got the hub and c-clip of, went ot pull the axle out and nothing moved? Dose it have to be in a certain position?

Take of the brake Caliper (two big bolts 17mm heads) Then there should be 4 14mm headed bolts which will remove the knuckle and the dirt sheild, your CV's and axles should then drop out.

You needed to take the Circlips off to remove the CV from the hub so your time is not all wasted.

Not sure of the differences between sierra and jimny, but are you upto this stage? I don't think your CV will fit through and you need to keep pulling stuff apart.. Unless your pulling it apart as a whole, then just knock the rear seals and king pins off...

Your workbench is so tidy

Got it out....

I just had to turn the cv 90'deg and lever it back on the knuckle .

A few more questions for you guys....

My long side axle has about 1-2 mm(Not even 2mm really) bend in the middle of the shaft...is that ok? Or do i need a new long side axle?

Also what grease do i use for the king pins bearings?

I'd imagine that the axle will need to be straight. Moly grease I think but hopefully someone else can confirm.

What grease goes on teh swivel hub? Where the scraper seal is, if you know what i mean?

Also I have been told to use HTB grease for the king pin bearings...

Haven't figured that one out yet either.

You need to pull the drum off and on the end of the outer cable there are 3 metal prongs get a screwdriver push each prong in while while twisting and pulling the cable out its easier to remove the brake shoes first but the first time you do it will be a prick of a task sorry wish I had a photo most nap stuff is the same set up to hold the cable into the backing plate
