CV joint thread
After much searching around online and with thread gauges I can now confirm that the thread in the end of the CV joint (for pulling it out of the hub/drive flange) is 7/16" BSW (British Standard Whitworth) - 14tpi.

Seen many other threads listed online, all wrong. So if anyone wants to know from now on, hopefully they will find this thread Smile

Good find, I was never able to find anything that was correct.

I just used an half shaft bolt ok not the right thread but you only need to screw it in enough to pull the half shaft back to fit the shims and curclip Smile Graham

I too use a half shaft bolt,but I'm sure I'll have an old prop bolt that I can use next time I take out the C/V joint. Very Happy Very Happy

Sadly prop shaft bolts are 3/8" UNF so wont fit.

I realise you can use one of the M10 drive flange bolts, indeed this is what the manual advises. However it is not the correct bolt for the thread and depending what people are trying to do with the CV joint might not be appropriate. This is the point of me posting this thread as I had not found the correct thread details anywhere else.
