"Wiggle it" they said. "Get the angles right" they said. "Takes an hour" they said.

Oh well, on to the @#@% pinch bolt...

- I can get them out this way... but then I can never get them back in again. - System_S4: Kaleb 2014-10-27 12:27:39 (131 views)
  - The trick is the jacking of the upright. The axles almost go in too easily when you do this. - DaveGS4 2014-10-29 21:39:29 (112 views)
- You have to jack it up. Impossible while it's fully hanging. - EddieWillers 2014-10-27 11:03:08 (134 views)
- Only takes a a few minutes to remove the pinch bolt, why not do it that way? If your pinch bolt is - Avantugofast 2014-10-27 10:29:14 (180 views)
  - Replacement pinch bolts aren't that expensive anyway. It's easy to get the old one out - EddieWillers 2014-10-28 10:37:45 (133 views)
  - also, don't be scared to get some heat (torch) on that upright, but don't fry the CA boots! - mike 2014-10-27 16:09:02 (124 views)

- Once you get it once that way, it's like a eureka moment, and after that, it's easy forever more. - bingS4 2014-10-26 20:56:22 (148 views)
- How I got it out - Jsnake4k 2014-10-26 18:28:09 (333 views)
- Turn the wheel and jack the hub up all the way. That's how I do it. Don't need to remove anything. - DaveGS4 2014-10-26 10:26:36 (159 views)
  - I just worked the pinch bolt. The CV is out. - GoeS4broke 2014-10-26 15:49:42 (159 views)
  - ^ this.. turn the wheel all the way to the right. Put a wood block under the rotor and use - nixxt 2014-10-26 11:06:38 (186 views)
    - I wouldn't jack the rotor even with wood. - EddieWillers 2014-10-27 11:08:50 (146 views)
      - Correct! Jack the bottom of the upright. - .jonah 2014-10-27 23:17:41 (119 views)
        
        Thanks guys I will not do it that way any more. :) - nixxt 2014-10-28 11:10:08 (122 views)
    - You want to turn it opposite the side you are working on, left for pside. - zillarob 2014-10-26 13:48:26 (166 views)
    - never had a problem doing it the crank the wheel to full lock and jack up on the upright way. - The Scrambler 2014-10-26 12:06:16 (171 views)
      - Just did this for boot replacement - zahntoid2 2014-10-26 16:25:39 (143 views)
        
        3rd - have done this way twice. - .jonah 2014-10-27 23:17:04 (121 views)
- Yeah it's hit or miss if it comes out that way. - shawnoc2003 2014-10-26 09:30:01 (172 views)
- I remove the pinch and the job takes significantly less than an hour. You do have to turn the wheel. - PKmode 2014-10-26 09:23:00 (172 views)
