[T2] Re 70 CV Joints

[Martin Mikush]

I took both half shafts off. the CV joints were almost dry with just
some dirty grease inside...

Bought two CV Joints from Danish auto parts store (I live in this part
of the world where shipping from US could cost a lot ...
My plan is to take off just the outer CV joints ( supposedly they are
took more wear .  And to replace the boots after good cleaning without
disassembly of the inner CV-Joints. By doing this I will spare some
efforts on hammering on the axle to take the CV joints completely .
few questions :
Is there anybody here with experience using JP group products?
 - their CV joints are produced as "ROULEX". But the CV Joints have
some visible groves from the miling process - hope this is not crucial
and the steel is good. http://www.johspedersen.dk/uk/home
this is the new danish cv joint - spposedly the photo is from the side
opposite the grove - and the inner part has a recess , which makes me
think this is the side for the shaft to "come out" so ... groves
inwards ?

Need help with advice on hammering out the old CV Joints - Should I
heat the inner part of the CV Joint to release it easily ? it goes so
slow with oiling with penetration oil and hammering the shaft ... or I
am tooo gentle to it ? :)

Thank you all !

Autozone and Oreilly have them for around $80 each reman.  In my town I have a commercial rebuilder who will regrind and bearing your shafts with new boots etc for $50 to $60 each. Sure they are rebuilt but guaranteed.  I've only used the guarantee once on my dozens of VWs and that was Checker auto on a MK2 half shaft. Check around and see what's available.
