If the bloke mentioned vibration or rattling, I'd agree, but steering pull from worn wishbone bushes..?

using the vehicle's setup as a holder for the CV itself.. wow that would have taken me long to figure out.

much love

defo hasnt 2 do with wishbone bushes

sorry for bothering again, hope it'll be d last ;) another mole grip I guess goes on the CV, so with one hand you pull CV outwards and with other you hit the molegrip on the shaft direct to the tranny. right?

now you're making tons 'a sense! well done chiefo, sure'll try that.

thanks guys, all making sense now, seems a bit overkill but if it gets the job done, should be fine for me. my bench vice is still in its box since Im still setting up my garage. :/

OK I think you've given me a feasible solution, the end of the shaft isn't allen type, but is half round and has two flat sides. so I should be able to use the ring spanner and a mole grip or a shifton to try undo them both with both hands. Problem is that my compressor although small is kinda...

tbh I'm still uncertain on the correct way of hooking the mole grips to the shaft. Where exactly is the depression and how will the mole grip help in not letting the shaft come off? I went all the way under the car going along the shaft until it goes to the tranny and noticed no where I can...

As you can see the impact wrench is on the floor, tried it. What I am not understanding is where would you put the ring spanner and the allen key?

Just pulled off the front driver shock, prob is the center nut simply rotates the shock's shaft.. i.e. cannot come off. best thought that popped to mind is to cut the shaft off, that way the metal plate that sits on top of the spring, comes off the other way. Ultimately try to vice grip the...

tbh man, I've put everything back in place, gave the f**k up and called the mech! I genuinely love to get my hands dirty and get to know my micra better..but I know the lack of experience is proving to offer lots of surprises. I'm lucky the car still moves after I learnt that the driveshaft...

I checked and if I turn the other wheel, the joint is still turning. So supposedly the shafts splines are both still anchored to the tranny. As far as oil leak there doesnt seem to be any sudden flows/leaks. But I have a slow leak coming from the engine so its kinda difficult to be sure

If the shaft falls out the tranny, Frank, how would it go back in?

Guys Can anyone give me a heads up on if there is a correct way to undo the Cv joint itself from the shaft? I've disassembled everything to make some space, wishbone, tie rod, caliper but the the cv joint itself is not coming off. I'm bashing it with a sledge hammer and rotating it to maybe aid...

And thanks for all your precious help frank bothering you at such hour in saturday evening. Much much obliged

The feckin micra won mate..couldn't undo the two feckin bolts of the rear mount even with the lowered cross member and was noticing a tiny squeak with the cross member undone frok one side upon applying pressure on the nut and presumed that I might slightly kink the cross member and the holes...

But not the whole crossmember when having jacked only from the differential? Cos I ve lowered the cross member by undoing 2 rear bolts but still the bolts on the mount are not budging..tbh im getting the feeling that the same has happened to them like the wishbone bolts cos they feel kind of...

Is it safe should I undo the whole cross member to work on it not under the car? The jack is currently at the rear of the gearbox/ differential. I also am replacing the other mount at the front of the cross member. Or should I only do one at once by jacking only one place at a time? Sorry frank...
