driveshaft removal
 

my inner gaiter on the front drive shaft needs to be replaced, does anyone have a tutorial for removing D/S?

Jack up car, remove the wheel, remove bottom ball joint, remove hub nut from centre of brake disc, drive out pin from inner joint sleeve connecting to gearbox, pull shaft out from car, job done!!!

what does this mean? "drive out pin from inner joint sleeve connecting to gearbox"

theres a pin running through the drive shaft where it connects to box. can miss it when looking, 6" nail is good and hammer to hit them through, re use the pins

so the shaft wont pull out of the box without removing the pins first?

Correct:thumb:

how long should it take to remove and put new one in? roughly

how good a mechanic are you, took me 20 mins, one out one in.

i am a resonable DIYer.

changed my engine + turbo +all suspension struts etc etc

so presumably the wheel alignment should not be affected?

No wheel alignment should be ok your not touching the steering
