Holding the wheel, the stub axle is still spinning? If so the pin for the axle adapter must have broken as well. In which case you'll have to grab the stub axle from the backside with pliers. Might be easier to access if you remove the pivot balls from the arms.
Sucks about the broken CV axle, it happens though.
 
Happend to me 2. New CVD fixed it. Lost the pin also. Will put thicker oil in the center diff. Mine broke on 6s. Happens more often. No big deal
 
can you remove the spring covering the pin holes?
 
I am sorry i am not sure what you mean can you explain more.

The new cvd is on way to me hopefully get done and be running by the weekend

There’s a set of metal coils covering the pin to keep it in the axle so the pin doesn’t fall out.

If you can remove the coils, maybe you can stick something in the pin hole to keep it from spinning when you try to unscrew the wheel nut.

On second thought, just grab the tire with one hand while you unscrew the wheel nut with the other. 👍
 
Guys thanks for all the help I managed to get the wheel of with mole grips on back off hub. I was worried about damaging it but came of quite easily .

Another couple of questions if I can.

The part i have circled in yellow does this have to be wound all the way in and is it the red cap the takes out the slack in the hub ?
I washer or shim fell out from where the bearing go any idea where to put that ?

Thanks again for all your help and advice.

The red aluminum cap is the retainer, yes, thread all the way in(lightly), then back off just a tick. Don't forget to install the plastic bushing between the pivot ball and red aluminum retainer. The steering will bind if too tight, hub will have play if too loose. The shim goes between the hub (plastic) and bearing when needed. I know I have seen shims behind the bearings on my Kronos front hubs even though the manual doesn't show them in the breakdown. Which tells me they are used if/when needed.

It is possible the shim(s) may not be needed, variations in tolerances between bearings, and other parts will dictate if or how many are needed. Be sure the bearings are fully seated in the hub. If the hex adapter still won't slide on far enough to get the pin installed, you may have to remove a shim or two. I believe there were actually more than one shim on my model, though it's been a while since I have had the hubs apart, so I'm not certain. Unfortunately no two of these models are exactly the same, so these items need to be shimmed for proper fitment.
