Iam having trouble removing the front driveshafts on my93 WRX Turbo Import (saloon).Do you need a special tool or something.The engine is removed but gearbox still fitted.Any help would be great.

 

Should be a roll pin through the gearbox side of the CV joint. Punch this out and the CV joint and driveshaft should come offf the g'box complete.

Don't get the punch stuck in the CV join though, just ask david wallis about that one

Ok thats great will try that,Cheers

 

unlike the rears - which I think just pull out dont they ?

I thought the rears were the same but never removed them.

I found a 4inch nail with the point cut off the perfect fit for the roll pins

A drill bit works quite well too...

so should the rears have pins too ???
(think mine mite not ! )

 

The fronts have pins..



But I just crawled underneath the rear and no pins and the driveshaft ends are slightly different.

Whether they just pull off once you have removed the other end and the hubs I dunno?

well thats what happened when my rear bearing inner seal was changed! pull the long bolt out. carefully leaver the hub from the diff & then it pulls out!

just couldnt remember a pin !
