I cannot remove inner CV joints.

[Mad Dog Tannen]

I have removed all of my suspension and steering in the front end.

I have all 6 bolts removed from the inner part of the CV joints, but they won't budge.

Do any of you know how to get them out?

Here is what I'm working with...

Mike's right, a hammer will get the job done. Once you get the cv shaft off, you'll see a bit of a shoulder that fits pretty tight into the axle stub. Maybe tap around the outside of the flange, while gently pulling on the cv shaft?

Ok I got it off. I sprayed it with liquid wrench, I put the shaft back inside a bit so it was cocked at about 45 degrees and I kicked the shaft part really f**king hard about 20 freaking times and the bitch finally came off. I guess that sucka was just rusted on there really good. F**king NJ needs to stop using salt on their roads!

Thanks guys~
