Subject:Half shaft removal
From:Barb Ourada
Date:Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:17:28 -0500

Have an 85, 1.9 water, and due to growling in drivers side rear wheel, am
taking out half shaft. Got all the bolts out, and the cv joint separated
from the wheel. Am stuck on getting the inner cv joint removed from the
drive flange of the transmission. It is rusted really tight. Have used lots
of penetrating oil, and pounded around on it, and made no progress. Have not
tried heat (concerned about seals). Looking for suggestions or hints. Trying
not to destroy the cv joint because the problem may well be the wheel
bearings; then I would repack the cv joint.    Thanks for any info
