Hi I have read all the post i could find great input from all, but 2 questions, can this be done without removing the axle nut (collar nut)? and if i get to the point of freeing the shaft (A) out of the cv / bearing casing (I), can i just leave the cv casing and bearings in place, re grease them and then try to pop cv shaft back in? went and bought myself a new axle nut in case it does have to come off,
