Im in the process now of changing rear hub assemblies($170.00 ea.) on my 95 tsi awd due to bad bearing upon inspection while doing a 4 corner Powerslot rotor upgrade, Im having a bitch of time seperating the hub from the splined shaft on the outer CV axle in the rear. I have ruined the threads of the axle on one side and Im waiting on new pair of rear outer CV axle shafts and nuts from dealership ($174.28 ea). as well as new front hub assemblies($97.48 ea.)
Does anyone know how to seperate outer cv axle joint at the outer CV boot?
also can you reinstall the axle and hub and rotor without the backing plates which have the pebble/dust rotor shields spot welded to them?
I cant seperate any of the components because the rust weld is so bad, I dont even know what Im going to do about all the ebrake hardware that i cant get off. I wouldnt recommed trying this install if the vehicle has been through winters and salt. I have now around $1300 in just parts and ~$100 on shipping invested to a project I thought was a powerslot rotor upgrade. Any idead/help would be great, last of parts to arrive today for more fun.
