CV removal pain- RANT!
My nickname will soon be Mr. Rant, the way I'm going lately.
On my back with 8mm allen wrench in hand, trying to remove the 6 bolts for the outer CV to eventually replace the torn boot. Had to resort to my air impact driver but got them all loose. But impossible to lift the axle above the hub without removing the entire axle. So be it...let's attack the inner CV as well.
Yeah...right...and thus my rant. Can only get two of the bolts loose, too much corrosion within the flange threads most likely. Managed to get a few drops of PB Blaster on the ends but doubt it will help. May have to resort to torching the flange.
Tips/tricks/ideas? Having more fun than a person should be allowed.
