Suzuki Driveshaft

I had two different Grand Vitara's in this week. One for a CV joint the other for 2 CV boots. I had difficulty pulling the driveshaft back through the hub far enough. There is a groove in the shaft for a circlip to hold it in place. I noticed there was a threaded hole in the centre of the shaft that fitted a standard 13mm bolt so made a little puller tool out of an old strut bearing and some washers.



Put the washer and circlip on as far as you can and fit the outer hub and tool. Tighten the bolt and it will clip in place by itself.
