Cracked CV joints

Well looks like Ill need to have my front CV boots changed.

Ive done a super dodgy temporary fix until I can plan to pull out the CV driveshafts.

I searched and found the above instructions on how to pull the driveshafts. It seems to say that the passenger driveshaft should just pull out, however I can see a 3x2 bolt pattern, then on the drivers side there is a circular bolt pattern.

Before I go committing wanton disassembly, can anyone confirm what the minimum is I have to disconnect from each hub and driveshaft?

Presuming it's the same as Skyline, undo lower ball joint from control arm, sway bar links then axle nut. Passenger side unbolts from side of diff, drivers side you need to lever out. There is a circlip that you need to pop the shaft out of. Can take a bit of levering at times. ONLY use genuine cv boots, all others are shite.

Thanks. I also got the drivers and passengers side mixed up reading the instructions. If/when I get them out Ill get a driveshaft shop to do the boots and packing

I'd recommend searching for a thread on this, there is a good one here somewhere. Has lots of pics, think they also used the GTR manual instructions as a base.

Not sure what model you have. But I did it on a S2 Stagea. I couldn't get the housing off I think on the drivers side, I didn't want to break anything so I just cleaned it out, added new boots and grease.

I had heaps of issues getting the CV's out so I undid heaps of things.

I also had issues with the clamps coming off, ended up using cable ties. I need to recheck if they are still sealed
