Remove axle shafts from CV axle assembly

I emailed Camburg this morning asking if I could by the cerclips from them. They said no, and to call a local axle shop to get help.

Camburg makes great products but I'm really disappointed with them on this one. It's a tiny part with no oem part number. Being that its critical for their long travel kits to work, I don't know why they don't sell them.

 

Get Fj/4runner cv axles, little bit different shaft and c clip so they actually will pull apart.

 

I've always used the "slide hammer" pipe method like shown at 5 minutes in this video. I've done this 6 times now for the set currently on my truck and 2 sets of spares I have.

Success!!!

 

Are you rebuilding a stock axle or taking apart for a LT shaft?

I heard a 50 ton press is whats needed.

I just rebooted a stock width axle and did not remove the outer part/c clip
