Fryguy's 818R with 2004 STI Donor Build Thread

[fryguy]

I was having a hell of a time trying to get the rear outer CV back onto the rear axle shaft. The circlip was a real *****. Using a hose clamp and a hammer didn’t work. So I took the 12 ton press to it and damaged the splines.



The sad thing is I only removed the rear outer CV to investigate which axle shaft to use. Then discovered the rear shafts were the ones. Sigh….off to eBay to find another rear axle assy.
