Removing a complete rear control arm, BEST way to remove the cv from the trans Options

[Gint]

I know I can get it off, done it way to many times. But why oh why is it such a bitch to get these damn things off? Does anyone have a really, really, really clean way to get them off easily? I have a nice complete used rear arm with drive shaft and everything ready for a swap.

Oh, and, do any of my local gang have a cv joint gasket handy? It's the one thing out of all the crap I forgot to order that I absolutely must have to get the car back on the road this weekend.

As I said recently (you should able to find it in the archives with a little research), this is the ONE place on the car where a judicious little bead of RTV will work nicely. And, BTW, the paper gasket fits in a depression, so it shouldn't be a cause for needing to retorque the bolts later on. The Cap'n

Yeah, Mike, cmonn. My PO (no, not my parole officer...) realized you don't need no stinkin' gaskets. And those little lock washers are for lily-livered sissies. And you *can* get away with using a Torx screwdriver, for a while....
