Hi all
I'm a newbee to the forum and in need of some assistance if anybody can help.
I have a 2008 Tiguan 4 motion. The propshaft carrier centre bearing has gone and I have purchased a retro fit bearing instead of the the complete new propshaft. I am stuck with two things. The front of the propshaft came away easy enough but not the rear section. I have removed the three bolts but it does not want to budge. I tried then to do the retro fit with the aft section still in place but I cant see how to remove the CV joint, which is on the splines. I was expecting a circlip to be holding it in place but I cant see one. I have used a bearing puller incase its just a press fit but only a slight amount of movement.
Where am i going wrong. I think if i can get the cv joint off then I could continue doing the repair in situ but it would all be sooo much easier if I could get the propshaft to the bench.
Very gratefull for any assistance.
