I have disconnected the CV joint from the transmission and have the bare minimum left to remove from the splined end.. I have removed the C clip!!
Any trick to getting it to budge? The angle makes it difficult to pull with any real force. I am afraid any type of 3 jaw puller will bend something it should not. I did let it soak with lubricant . I could get away with re-inserting the ball bearings but have found that after 3 of them gravity takes over. Open to any suggestions. Thanks George \Wilmington DE |

Do you have the tools to remove the 32mm castle nut at the wheel end ? Then remove the drive shaft assembly and reassemble the CV under better circumstances. |

A brass drift punch might work. You need to use one to get the C clip back seated anyway when you put it back together.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yes, the assembly should really be on the bench for a proper repair. |

Check this video at 1:14 for removal. You basically use the joint like a slide hammer, but it reallly needs to be on the bench for leverage.

You all are correct, I'll get the sub axles off and repair or replace properly many thanks George Wilmington, DE |

I assume so, but let us know the symptom(s) |
