Hi,
Haynes manual is quite vague, so could anybody tell me if the outer CV joints on a Xantia can be replaced? Or do you have to do the whole driveshaft?
It's a '96 Activa by the way.
Thanks,
Simon.

O/s Driveshaft has an intermediate bearing located in a housing bolted to the back of the cylinder block, the bearing is retained by two bolts which have off set heads. to remove shft you need to loosen the two bolts and then turn them through 90 deg the whole shaft will then come out from the gearbox as per the N/s shaft after going through the same hub disconnection process. If you do remove it check the condition of the intermediate bearing which will come out with the shaft. If the bearing is worn it can fool you (and MOT testers) into believing that your front wheel bearing is U/S and or that you have a noisy gearbox

Re: Xantia CV joints
Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I have my offside shaft in a vice and I just can't get the outer hint off! Any ideas?

Too late, I went and smashed it!

Re: Xantia CV joints
Tim,
The CV joint is only secured by a snap Circlip.. A good sharp HIT with a hammer should remove it from the shaft!
What bad luck. Have you got a replacment handy??

Re: Xantia CV joints
No, I'm ordering one from the net for £20, no idea when it will arrive though and I need the car for work.
I was knocking it for an hour, eventually smashing the cage through frustration. Even after I took it apart the joint wouldn't come off, I had to beat the shaft with a hammer from the "inside" of the joint, eventually the circlip broke!
