The only thing that holds the axle in on my 930 trans is the clip you removed. You may have some burs on the splines near the clip grove... It just may need more pressure to remove it. |

What exactly are you hammering?? Cus the shaft is one piece. Im sure you know that. Are you hammering the outer cv away from the shaft? Dont have any advice, havnt done that before... |

I agree that the C-clip is the only thing holding that shaft onto the joint at this point. Well the boot is also to a very minor degree. You need to get it off of the joint. And you got some good advice from drive-ability. Check for burrs before following the suggestion below. Remove the metal collar of the boot from the cv and move the boot up the shaft and out of your way. Place the joint on the top of your vice with the center section flat on the top and the shaft in between the jaws of your vice just wide enough for the shaft and to allow some play. Get a helper to hold the shaft below the vice to keep it from falling on the floor. Whack your shaft with your MFH. Make sure your square so you don't screw it up. It shouldn't take much, the thing lives in grease. Here's a caveat BTW. Do not try to hit the outer portion of the CV to remove it from the shaft. You will fu the joint. |
