Having removed the Engine and Tranny. Prep for the car to head to the paint process. I want to remove and rebuild the axle and CV joints.
I can't get them to come loose. Am I missing something? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Alittle late to respond. But, after struggeling with this myself on a previous car, found a way that's pretty easy. After your 4 bolts are out, take a long thick phillips head screwdriver and put it into one of the bolt holes and wobble the crap out of it. It will rock the cv joint out. Not too bad to do. I found it easier to slide the cv boot up the shaft, and removed the inner cv with shaft from outward cv, before using the phillips. I suppose either way will work.
