Hey guys, I'm not a rodchange Clubby person (too old) so bear with me here. I need to remove the pot joint inner spider and cage from 2 shafts so I can fit them into 2 new pot joints. Is there an easy way (eg hit with BFH like a CV), or do I need to make a puller as shown in the Leyland book? |

I've never needed any real force. Just remove the circlip and they slide apart. |

How do you remove the circlip when it is on the inside? Just give the inner spider a hit with a soft drift. They normally come off pretty easily |

Thanks guys, I gave them a tap with my BIG lumpa brass and they slid off. Easier than expected. ![]() |

Same as CV joints. They either come off easily with a big hammer or won't budge until destroyed by the same big hammer. ?? |
