Refer to the topic from Moonrock, you can find full details on how to remove the front driveshaft without removing the front hub, suspension, or steering components.
The shaft can be detached from under the vehicle, this leaves the outer part of the outer CV assebbly in situ.
Hi. I am part way through this job on my 1999 Fourtrak TDX, but have run into problems getting the shaft out of the CV joint cradle in the outer hub. I hope to have another look over the weekend and will let you know how I go on. Moonrock.
Finally sorted thanks to assasins help. The clip was not easy to spot due to the molly grease and poor lighting. The groove is in the cup outer rim, and the clip is like a length of wire, bent in a circle, and slotted in. If you look for the point where the two ends meet as there is a small gap where you can put your small screw driver in to leaver the end out. The whole joint with cage and ball bearings then pulls out. A small circlip holds the inner race to the shaft.
Simple when you know how . Like most things thanks again for the tips. The wire clip is inside the inner joint next to the diff, also I removed hub cap and clip with shaft complete to removing shafts. After droping lower ball jiont on hub with the O/S needs little more room.
