Subject:Removing CV from axle shaft?
From:Shawn Wright
Date:Sun, 21 Sep 2003 12:43:36 -0700

As per usual, a simple job is quickly becoming several major pain in *ass
type jobs...
While I ponder options on the trans mount issue, I tackled the torn outer
CV boot. Pulled the axle, removed the circlip, and went to whack the CV
off shaft. It moved about 2mm, then refused to go any further. I know
Bentley shows are press for this, but I've done them before without a
press. Any ideas on how to coax this thing off the shaft? I thought of trying
a plumbers torch, but I'm out of gas. Should I just give up and take the
axle to a shop?
