Some of them have a snap ring that will need removing, but on the whole they should pop off with a hammer, a vehicle type might give someone a better chance of helping

One of them was clicking when I turn on full lock, and both swivel seals were leaking so I am going through the whole front axle and replacing everything so doing both sides. I can’t get either side separated from the half shafts!

As I take it the old cv needs replacing too. Then whilst holding the shaft in the past I have varied from a light tap from a soft faced hammer to a beating the crap out of it in a rotating 12 - 3 - 6 - 9 pattern until the bell had broken all the ball joints are on the floor and the inner cage was in 3 pieces before the centre section had let go of the shaft. the circlip had partially come out and wedged itself to stop the inner part coming off the splines.

That guy in those videos does my head in, how many times can one person say “right” “right” “right” “right” “right”
In answer to getting the CV off, dead blow hammer and give it a good whack man! try and keep it straight. |

So...After smashing off the end of the CV Joint, taking the balls out, and splitting it, grinding the around the cir clip to get the cir clip out then holding the half shaft up to the CV joint i had bought i saw that the splines were different....
Turn out for defenders 2007 on you have to buy a half shaft and CV joint as one unit... Paddock spares only showed one kit for a CV replacement and said from Vin LA930456 so i presumed this was right. So i have now ordered the proper replacements from ISLAND 4x4. Hopefully these are correct. |

thats not correct. they are separate items and available as sep items, sounds like you just have wrong CV to go on that shaft. Cheers

Having just done a recent Puma CV joint on a local farmers landy then the mystery deepens.
The parts book says it is serviced as one and that is what the story is when you order parts. Upon receipt of the Allmakes bits the CV joint and the shaft are different. now I didn't have an earlier 300 / TD5 CV and shaft to hand for comparison but it all looks like there is some parts jiggery pokery going on. The old OE shaft on the splines that go into the CV are not like the replacement one there isn't a shoulder where it sits in or the need for a spacer a la the earlier style. Picture of removed OE shaft.  Click image to enlarge ^^^^ as you can see the splines taper and near the top is the faint line of how far it sits into the CV. At the end the grove for the Circlip isn't just cut into the splined part it is a separate flange where it sits. But it isn't just an old parts later axle swap. I did have an older CV at home and when I brought the shaft home it doesn't fit the older (TDJ000010) CV it is slightly larger circumference. It'll be interesting to see the later replacement shaft and if the earlier CV fit. Why? The later shaft to go in the later CV that came 'As part of a kit' Does have the shouldered part like the earlier ones. More investigation needed. as after all the diff is still 24 spline and the Swivel housing inner and outer and the stub axles are the same so why couldn't you retro fit the TD5 / 300 and then in the future only have to replace the CV not buy a serviced as a kit and replace a shaft for no reason.

my experience is you can fit 300/td5 Shafts and CVs to Pumas. done over 20 of them i reckon. Cheers

Did anyone get to the bottom of the parts needed to replace a Puma CV?
