You've got me confused.
I have ground off the big nuts at wrecking yards and pulled the stub axle
and drive axle with both CVs still on the axle.
The axles just drop below the tranny if it's there and you pull the parts as
a unit. It saves loosetning the outer CV bolts that are often a beatch to
remove.
