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! |

Normal... I used a drift and set it upside down in a vise. Let the axel hang and pounded away with a similar sledge.
