After removing the four star bolts from the outer CV joint (at the wheel), I removed the axle with the circlip, cage and balls in place (which are all in good shape). However, the CV joint "hub" itself (with the two guide pins) has not budged from the "wheel hub flange".
With the inner CV joint (next to the transaxle), the hub is totally exposed and a few taps with a hammer and then careful prying with a screwdriver and the hub comes right off the "transaxle flange". But since the outer hub is located deep inside the suspension arm, it is difficult to get to. Any advice, tips, or tools that may help me break this thing loose? |

I'm having a tough time picturing where you are in your disassembly. Sounds like you have the inboard CV separated from the transmission flange, and the outboard CV triple square bolts removed, but the CV still attached to the stub axle by the roll pins.
If so, you need to remove the stub axle from the suspension arm. I think you're stuck putting the axle back on the tranny, removing the big axle nut (? 30mm), then removing the whole half shaft as a unit. Then you can separate the outboard CV from the stub axle. |
