Guest diagnosis-dub Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I need to replace my CV boot on my '95 VR6 golf, the bentley manual says I need to use VW tool 3283 to get the CV joint out of the hub.The VW 3283 tool looks like this.Can't find a dealer for this in uk and only way to get it is to ship in in from abroad which works out mega expensive.What I want to know is what other pullers are suitable for doing this and what ones do other people recommend?Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 rubish you dont need any vw tool. just do the following get the car off the ground remove the wheel remove the lock nut/castle nut which hold the track rod end onto the hub you may have to give the hub were the trck rod end sits a bit of a smack to release it then remove the big nut 30/32mm which hold the shaft then pull the shaft out of the hub then the the cv joint will knock off of the shaft then knock back on then in reverse order to put back.
