How to Remove the Driveshaft with the Gaiter on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Axle shaft

Learn how to remove the driveshaft with the gaiter on a Ford Fiesta. Position your car on a column lift: raise it to a comfortable height for working, unscrew the wheel bolts (with a socket wrench or air drill) and remove the wheel. Next, begin unscrewing the large bolt of the brake disc with a socket wrench. Unscrew the bolts located under the disc and completely remove the wheel hub; pull the driveshaft with your hands (remove the bolts under the engine). Fit the new gaiter (after removing the old one) of the constant velocity joint, then begin to reassemble all the parts in reverse order.
