Replace cv shaft on 1996 isuzu rodeo. I have outer shaft free from hub, but how do you release the inner shaft? I see 4 bolts attached to the bell housing but not sure if I should remove them
Yes the bolts will attatch to the bell housing. It sounds like you have the right idea. Pretty straight forward job. I find the easiest bolt to access, then spin the shaft by hand to the next one in N, then put in Park to remove if nessessary. Try not to bend the CV joints too far when handling them, they are not designed for angles over 40 degrees or so. Make sure to torque all the bolts down to the specs. Good Luck.
