How do i disconnect my driveshafts? Im new to all this and wanting to learn. Thanks for having the patients with me for being stupid.

 

Dont do it if you dont understand mate, it involves hub nuts (which have a torque setting to hold your bearing together) also you need to drop the lower arm to get the ball joint free from the hub etc etc etc so unless you have the tools leave alone fella

 

I need to do it to get the engine out. would there be a step by step somewhere on the internet?

 

Ok mate, first remove the nut in the middle of the brake disc, then there is a ball joint in the bottom of the hub with a side way bolt that needs popping out, then the strut will be nice and free, you can now remove the CV joint from the hub (the bit the bolt you removed in the middle of the disc) then pull the shaft out fella, remember to drain the gearbox oil first (smells like cat piss !)

 

Thanks, I know it sounds stupid me trying all this but it's the only way I'm going to learn. If I do fuck it up the car was only peanuts so I wouldn't lose anything. Thanks again.

 

Just PM if you need to know anything else fella as will be online most of this weekend
