Hi all. :) Just to be clear, I was joking when I wrote "a bigger hammer?" as a solution for removing a stuck inboard CV. I don't own a press, so I'd be drifting the driveshaft out with proper tools, or using a puller. (Thanks. I like that idea for the road...) I would never strike the end of the driveshaft with a claw, or similar hammer, unless it was a last resort and the driveshaft was protected with a piece of 2x4. So, not taking issue with anyone, just being clear. What I wrote may have been misleading, and may have given the wrong impression about the level of my mechanical skills. There. I said it. Don't I feel better now? Heh heh. ;^) Respectfully, Neil.
