Intermediate shaft and cv.

[Jake.Ski]

harsh, lol no i think i should be alright.

Now to just take it to the lift tomorrow...

Now if they do spin what should i do next?

 

[BjBnet]

Not much, just a little. Unless you have zero muscle you should be able to spin one.

if you're not sure, take the caliper and pads off....that's how free it should be.
Then start over again and with everything on spin the wheel. It's normal to hear the pads rub a little tiny bit sometimes but there shouldn't be any pressure.

Does your Jeep move forward, in Drive, on its own from a dead stop when you let go the brake pedal without touching the gas pedal?

Take stuff apart tomorrow, stop worrying so much and get yer hands dirty. If you have any problems we (the forum) are open on Saturdays and Sundays, so come on board and ask more questions :smokin:

next, take the passenger side apart and check that intermediate shaft... make sure you have a 36mm socket...

I have taken things apart, i took everything off to the Hub assembly got the 3 torx off the back of the hub but they didnt have the huge socket in.

So once i get that nut off then what do i do??

 

[Jake.Ski]

Better yet, when i have the Wheel bearing assembly off how do i remove the CV and intermidiate shaft and how do i check it to see if its worn?

Still jumping to step 3 before you cover 1 & 2

You don't need to remove the wheel bearing to remove the CV axle... :-s

I like to try to get all the info because its tough getting time to be able to get down to the shop.....

i looked for a how to on removing it and nothing popped up..
Is there any steps for this?

No it rolls from a stop just fine, no gas needed.

Pop out upper and lower ball joint as well as sway bar link. The spindle then will maneuver out of the way coming off the end if the cv shaft. Then all you have is the whole shaft staring at you saying "pull me out!". Keep the tierod connected or take it off too. I didn't and was able to move the spindle around fine and pull out the shaft assembly.

 

[Jake.Ski]

Ok, sp it seems like a pretty simple task. Now when its out i should be checking for it being rounded and rusted correct?

Just pull it out and see if the intermediate shaft will even separate from the cv joint first. If they are rusted together, well there's your problem.

 

[Jake.Ski]

Alright sounds easy enough!
Hopefully I get a weekend soon, this working 7 days a week thing is no fun at all lol

So when I have the whole CV shaft just staring at me how hard is it to remove? Am I going to have to pry it out or should it be somewhat simple?!

 

[rockymountain]

Use a pry bar to get it out. Pry between the inner cv and the axle housing I think.

 

[Jake.Ski]

so pry here?

[Jake.Ski]

What is that big peice anyways?

 

[Jake.Ski]

You must be registered for see images attach

You must be registered for see images attach

So the intermediate shaft goes into the actual axle housing and the cv connects to the intermediate shaft at the "big Cylinder thing"
Correct?

 

[rockymountain]

Yep. And yep.

 

[Jake.Ski]

now things are starting to make some sense! pictures speak a thousand words!!
hopefully i can get a chance to go to the auto hobby shop and remove it and send some pictures of what i find.

But first i have to make sure that its not coming from my brakes!
