Take off the hub nut and brake drum, then the drive flange (with studs) pulls out of the swivel hub (with balljoints) with slide hammer. Sometimes the outer bearing comes too, and you have to grind or pull it off the drive flange afterwards. |

If you have a old Drum sitting around put on backwards with wheel nuts with around 4 threads and try and slide it out as per Doc's method |

I gather you are talking about the drive flange? After removing the CV joint, tap the drive flange out from behind with a appropriately sized drift. I made mine out of bar stock in a lathe, it end is machined down to fit inside the drive flange where the CV usually is. The inner race of the wheel bearing often gets suck on the flange shaft and all the balls fall out, so be prepared to replace the wheel bearings if required.

Be careful bashing it out this way, is fine with a fitted mandrel like that but if you use a BFH and just any old drift, you will stuff the end of the drive flange.... |

ive got the drive flange down to about halfway inside the hub now there looks to be a spacer or what i assume to be a spacer, stopping any downward movement. what now? is the hole spline and bearing assembly tapered? thanks for the tips. |

Nope all parallel, it should knock right out. |
