Changing a cv/axle heaps quick on a gq?

[ethann]

Read somewhere, Searched everywhere, (Three different forums).
With no luck.

I read somewhere that the comp boys can swap over a cv/axle in like 20 od minutes or something?

Any chance someone knows where the thread is or could tell me?
Just curios on how its done?

with a shite load of practice?

I haven't done it. But the way I have been told basically takes the swivel hub off complete.
Best bit is it doesn't mess with the wheel bearings.

Yeah we do it all the time,

1. Jack up and remove wheel
2. Remove 2x calliper bolts and cable tie to shock tower
3. Undo locking hub allen head bolts & remove locking hub
4. Remove circlip
5. Undo the 8 wiper seal bolts
6. Remove 2x bolts on top kingpin, remove kingpin.
7. Lift swivel housing up and tilt down to free from bottom kingpin
8. Slide whole unit off
9. Remove and Replace axle and cv
10. Follow steps 8-1


20-30mins tops

yep, and portable rattle guns, and two guys working on it.

Rattle guns pull shitz apart really quickly.

I pit crew for a production class (vic) gq and the best we have done a cv in was 15 mins, but you need and good cordless rattle gun and the right size bearing nut socket, as well as a good magnet on a stick, to speed things up.

Its quicker to leave the swivel hub on and just remove the hub and disk, and then remove the stub axle, which then allows you to remove the shrapnel the is left in the swivel housing, with the magnet.

I can do a cv in 40 minutes in the bush. That's taking the whole thing apart.

Ive done a few quick comp changes, under the half hour mark and back out there for the next track.

we normally undo the wheel bearing, rather than take the swivel hub apart. with the GU lock nuts conversion its a bit quicker and easer.

Two blokes, an electric impact gun, all the right tool ready to go,
spare axle and C/V assembled, greased and wrapped in plastic wrap at the ready.

I haven't needed to change one on mine since upgrading to treated C/V's.
but still change a few for mates.

i'v been told that some blocks take out the cir clip in the cv so it is not attached to the axel?
