Subject:      CV removal tips?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


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.
