2012 Range Rover Rear CV Axle Re-Boot

Last year I purchased this 2012 with existing coil springs in lieu of the OEM air struts. The springs forced the lower arms so low when lifted for new tires, the outer boots on both sides ripped. Had to change back to air anyway to tow a boat, so this walks you through the re-boot effort. The aftermarket axles available were junk and new Land Rover axles would force me to re-fi my house, so I decided to keep the existing since the cv joints were in great shape. Maybe this will help you with a similar circumstance. If you need help with taking the axle off, this may help:

Thanks for watching!

one of the slots in the race is elongated and once at 90 deg will allow it to slide past/ rotate out of the joint.

Many thanks for that tip!

did you encounter difficulty removing the cv axle from the knuckle? Im curious how you did that

[@sliceoflife1821]

Great question. The removal is shown in this video around the 20:22 mark:

Adding the vibration from the hammer drill makes it much easier. Good luck!
