Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting help me please Cant get drive shaft off

1)Leave the inner 'jack shaft' which is on a bracket to the block inplace 2)The hub nut end of the outer(2 joints) drive shaft will be very tight on the splines in the hub, it has to be pushed back out of the hub splines but only with a puller secured to the lug nut studs and the knuckle has to be off and 'floating..3)It sounds like you have pulled the INNER cv joint apart within the boot,to get the 'tripod' part off the fixed/solid 'jackshaft' needs a sharp blow with a drift or hard wood to knock it off of the jackshaft splines...good luck(NOTE) IF you attempt to hammer the outer drive shaft out of the hub flange you will DAMAGE THE HUB BEARING..with EXTREME care in this area)
