There should be a grub screw somewhere in the ball

I haven't worked on a tenth scale since the beginning of the summer. I recently took apart a 8th scale buggy cv joint with a grub screw. Though 10th scale touring cars and 8th scales aren't exactly the same lol

i believe they call it a cvd.
there should be a grub screw there as already said.
 
It's a Cvd. There should be a grub screw holding the pin in, or if not, and it's actually stuck, use wd40 and some pliers and hammers.

There are some that have a set screw. But that is not visible in the pic of this one. So I think youreright. It's either a bang it out, or a set screw. Like this one is obviously a set screw. But I have seen fully concentric cups with a slot cut in them to access a set screw locking the pin in.

This is a photo of my Nanda NRX-10 where the set screw is removed from the barrel, use a 1.5mm hex wrench to remove it and apply some heat with a micro torch first so you don't risk stripping the threads, be sure to apply blue thread lock on the set screw so it doesn't back out later on:

Side note, this part is called a CVD, dog bones do not have any captured pins like CVD's and Universal's do.
 
can't thank you enough bill

Do you know an alternative to a micro torch? whould a heat gun work effectively

Do you have a soldering iron? If so you could use that to heat up the set screw.

Make sure anytime you are working on a potentially problem screw, especially a set screw, that you use a quality wrench to start. If you use a cheap bit and it strips, you're going to have problems. Make sure your wrench fits snug too. A lot of cheap Chinese tools can be a little loose in the hex. Give it a very slight turn clockwise then back it out slowly.

I just did what you said with the soldering iron but nothing it working, any more suggestions?

Did you find the set screw? There is a set screw holding the pin in. Once you get that out the pin should slide out easily.

I'm not sure, there seems to be a cylinder looking thing inside and it has the pin attatched to it
