[s-cars] Driveshaft CV joint removal.....

[Jim Fleischer]

Hey guys,

List has been a bit quiet lately, so here you go......

So, I've decided to just replace the one worn out CV joint at the moment, as there is not a shop in Colorado that will touch my driveshaft, and to send mine out for R&R will take more time than I have right now.  The center bearing and other CV joint are still serviceable for now, and when I get a second vehicle, I'll tackle those when the time comes that they are an issue.

So, I have the replacement CV joint, but am running into difficulty removing the existing one.  It is very dried out, and will not budge even the slightest from the collar.  I've removed the circlip, and am wondering if there is a tool or something that would make removing this a bit easier.  Any BTDT?

Thanks!
