outer cv joint removal

[adam g]

Not sure if they are different on a Ur but when I done one a few weeks ago I bought some suitable circlip pliers fairly cheap off eBay and sprung it open before getting the hammer on it. Again, the info comes a bit late.

seems 12 months and it's toast. Note to self, don't use crappy ECP own parts, they cannot handling the loading of a heavy front end on the s2. Off to locate a GKN outer CV and do it properly...

This sounds all too familiar i had a prop shaft rebuild last year and the place fitted cv joints that are 'used in motorsport' so last alright. 2000miles later and they had 4-5mm of play in them. I couldn't get those off as the metal was so soft th middle of th joint had turned on the splined shaft and jammed. Smacked the living daylights out of it and it came off. Had to clean up the mashed shaft splines but all is well now. Fitted skf joints.
