[crankycruiser]

I have a good cv joint but the it has a broken axel in it...

The axel has sheared off flsh with where it goes into the cv itself...

Any ideas on how i can get it out???

Start drilling

drill it ... tap it ... bolt in the hole ... vice ... hammer ... pop

you might be able to invert the star without pulling the stump out. if not, what hoonz said. also, if you tap it in a bit you might be able to pull the clip ring off with some thin screwdriver jiggery pokery to make it that much easier to pull out.

This happens a lot with our treated CVs thats why we dont run the inner C Clip. On ours they still tend to get a little stuck as the spline usually twists before snapping. Get some good High Temp grease and cover all of the CV star, Race and balls but dont cover the broken axle. Then get a piece of half inch steel rod and weld it to the Broken axle. The grease should protect the rest of the CV from splatter.(You can actually use Cooking Oil to do this as well). Then cut the 1/1 inch rod down to a couple of inches long and weld that to the old broken axle. Then you can remove it the easy way by sliding it into a piece of 50mm tube to jar the axle loose.

do a ruff said .
but i found if u use a block of wood with a hole in it for the axel to slide thew . and use it like a slide hammer.
wood does not damage the cv like steel .

It snapped because the diff housing got bent not because of wheelspin or anything like that so by rights it should come out reasonabl easy?

Yes Except it has a Circlip inside the CV holding the axle in there. With our Treated ones we dont run the Circlip.
