APL111 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hello I need to replace the cv axle on the drivers side on my 08 edge awd. I have never done this but I am proficient with working on cars. I have the shop manual and have looked at youtube videos but cannot figure it out. On the side that goes towards the PTU there is clip on the splined shaft how does one remove this to get the unit out. I know the other end is held by the hub bearing. Thanks alot for the help.

APL111 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sorry I meant how do i get the axle to slide out of the PTU? What is holding it in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Oh, I got you. There is a round clip ring on the end which locks it into place. Usually, a pry bar will get that end out but use caution not to go crazy cause there is a bushing there. If at first you can't remove it, rotate that end like 1/8 or a revolution and try again, move and try again. The lock ring has a slight opening and you are trying to match the small opening with one of the spline grooves. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APL111 Posted September 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 So basically it pulls straight out and you line up the opening and push it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
