After having tonnes of trouble removing the balljoint from the LCA we have run into another problem. We cant remove the CV assembly from the back of the rotor. I believe you have to pop it out and then swing the LCA + rotor assembly out of the way, is this correct?

Anyway, ill post a picture of where we are stuck. We just dont know how to get this rotor out of the way to get at the actual CV joint, basically.



Also, do I need the ABS cv joint if we have a JDM integra or not?

did you bang it out with a hammer?

 

heat it up and get a really big hammer. Mite take a couple times but it usually works

 

usually hittin it with a nice size hammer takes care of this problem.

 

make sure you dont mushroom the head of that shaft if your planing to just reuse it..
for the time and money i would just get a reman shaft and call it a day but thats me.. (limited lifetime warranty)
try not to bang it too much you might also ruin the bearing.. if you still can't get it out with a couple of whacks then put it together and bring it to the shop..
they may charge more but they will be able to get it out.
i've had a couple of those in my time also.. but i work in a shop
