a fork of some kind...

either that or pull out the other axle and push through that side...

 

pry bar lol... that's what i had to use when it got stuck.

 

Huge screwdriver, pry bar, crow bar, etc.

Or, if you're manly, pull like a ****.

 

how did you know the cv joint was bad?

 

lots of loud ticking and clunking making left turns.. thanks everyone else for the help

 

That could also be do to your suspension not being tightened.

when dealing with anything under your car that is hardend steel violence is your friend

 

i was under there a couple of times b4 deciding to rip out the axle to tighten everything up, but it was still making the noise, so hopefuly the new axle will do the trick.. i should have it tomorrow when the salvage yard makes there deliverys to my side of the state.

 

well i got it about 2ft in the air, took a pry bar and a hammer n it wouldnt come out, so i got frustrated, called it a dirty *****, and gave it another good hit, n it came out! problem solved, thanks again guys

 

yeah those dirty ****** arent good for anything....

 

it works every time

 

I was thought my CV was gone, only later to find out it was a strut mount/strut bearing. I never got around to taking it out though, sorry i couldnt help you.

Sorry for the OT, its boring at work today.

 

Name calling always does the trick. I usually call mine a BiT*H

 

How tough was ripping out and installing the new axle? I'm going to do this too. lousy god damn axles and motor mounts
