After just re-installing my axles, I find one of the old boots (I replaced two of four) has a small hole allowing little blobs of grease out. This was one of the CVs I could not get off the shaft, so I put it back on. I suppose I could pull the *other* CV and install the boot from the other end, but I'd rather figure out how to get the stuck CVs off. I have removed the circlip and tried tapping the end of the shaft with a cold chisel while the outer joint was supported in a vise, but it would't budge. Both my inboard CVs are now stuck like this, and will wear out eventually... Any ideas appreciated. Shawn Wright http://members.shaw.ca/vwdiesels '88 Westy 1.6TD 5 speed '85 Jetta Diesel 1.6NA
