Maybe I spoke too soon about removing the wheel bearings... Can't get the half shaft off the transmission side to save my life. I've removed the four CV bolts and thing still feels really tight. Manual says to put a knife edge under the flange on the transmission side to separate the the two, but I have no clue. any suggestions?
There is not anything else holding the cv axle to the flange. Rubber mallet to break it loose perhaps? There are a lot of people that silicone the cv to the transmission flange, it may just be stuck. Both of mine just fell off the flange when I pulled the bolts off.
