Its the stub shaft of the axle that is held in the vice the constant velocity joint was free to move and not subject to any impact😁 also the hammering is very very gentle or you would damage the abs ring Same applies to hitting it when its fitted in the car as long as you are careful not to damage the threads
Maxautouk is right regarding the hammering. That was gentle hammering. I have lost count on seeing a variety of tools and hammers used to drive the shaft back. It depends on how long the drive shaft has sat there without being touched and also if a mechanic has already been in, depends if any lubricant has been applied.
Actually had to replace these on a Berlingo Multispace, (identical) the ABS ring went out of round with corrosion underneath causing ABS to activate on the left wheel. Top tips would be to clean up the CV joint surface with a dremel so its rust free and heat up the new ABS ring in the oven. 200c at 15min. I didnt have to remove the CV joint did it on the car, the new ring slide into place with a 2 or 3 light taps.
Great, clear video as always.
Thanks again!
Didnt know such abs ring may get damaged. Clear video but I wonder why the hammering at 2:58. Isn't it causing damage to the joint?
