Front Chromo's

[BlueSuzy]

When you recieve bought chromo's from the states preferably trailgears ones, are they shipped with the cv on the axle, or seperate?

I have bought front dirty30's chromo's for a Hilux from the states, will be picking them up from another company while im over there to bring back home in my luggage.

Dilemma: My bag dimensions diagonal is 800mm.....complete axle with cv is 900ish+

Is there an easy way to seperate the the cv and main axle without damaging them? Never done before..

Cheers

Found an easy way to pull off stock cv's/birfields

Hopefully 30splines are the same or similar

A mate of mine bought a set of dirty30s from Snake, this is the pic he took after they arrived at his place.


Hope this helps.

I don't know if welding up a jig, to remove the axle is the easy way. Certainly if you had to do it alot its the easy way. but for 2 axles, when your rebuilding your front end, every 200,000 k's?

the easy way, and the method described in the Toyota Service manual, Is put it in a vice holding the inner axle. Grab a big punch and big hammer and drive the inner star of the birfield off the axle.

you will break the inner circlip (no other way to get it off).

Ok no worries.

Even if was a plain bit of pipe same size as the star it should be ok.

Hopefully, if they come complete the company im picking them up from can seperate the long side for me. I wont be taking tube/hammer/vice or punch to the US

They are for a zook, so it will be lucky to do 100tho k's

I use basically the same method shown in the youtube clip for Toyota CVs but with a plain bit of pipe. works a charm, and is far easier then trying to separate them in a vice plus NO damage to the axle. I have previously burred an axle and also smashed a CV trying to separate them in the vice, not ideal IMO

I hold the axle in one hand, and using a hard plastic mallet i hit the back of the cv bell. Works every time lol...

Only time it didnt was because the spline was twisted. Just proped it on the side of a trailer and got someone to help me.

Not all that hard, something you can work around for sure.
