I figured I'd get my axles powdercoated along with all the other suspension pieces. After removing the circlips 3 out of 4 CV joints came off with just a little persuasion but the fourth required a 5 lb sledge, a drift, and a lot of effort. Does this sound unusual? Should I have the pieces checked by a professional (or in this case, Brad)?

thanks peeps!

Next time slide the CV joint off the closest end of the shaft instead of sliding it all the way down the axle and off the other end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Just kidding. So were you really working on your car or are you just pulling our legs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Kidding again. Can't wait to see pictures of that monster all put together.
