[V6-12v] front inner cv joint removal

[Tom Christiansen]

Hi,

I don't know about the CV joints on the 97, but the inner joints on the 
93-95 m.y. cars are not serviceable. You replace the inner joint with the 
drive shaft (or realistically, you get a completely rebuild drive shaft).

But if Bentley says you can press the inner ball bearings off somehow, then 
you probably can... If you have access to a press that'll deliver enough 
pressure and make a jig that'll hold the ball bearing while you apply 
pressure to the pin that goes through it. At least that's what I deduce 
from looking at the inner joint from a 93-95 m.y. car. I suspect the one 
for the younger cars is more or less similar.
