Citroen AX Driveshaft

[alana]

I have to renew the driveshaft outer gaiter, how do you remove the inner c/v joint?

you can't it's part of the drive shaft to replace the cv boot you remove the hub and use a cone to slide a new boot over, if thats what u meant quite easy job but you need a joint splinter and alot of muscle to get lower suspension arm off

This is the way my MOT garage does it:

Not a cheap gadget!
Cones are a much cheaper alternative.

Thank's for your response, i removed the inner c/v boot, this gives access to the circlip that holds the inner drive hub.
Once this is removed it's a simple job to slide the new gaiter down to the outer c/v joint. [:)]

Just make sure you put it all back in place. I don't know the AX set up but if it is like many Peugeot models there is a spring in the inner joint.
