Torn boot-- cv joint won't come off half-shaft
An inboard boot is ripped, so I got the six hex-head allen bolts out without much trouble (just lots of leverage), and the split ring/ snap-ring off with a real tool (after my modified needle-nose pliers failed to do it). But now the cv joint should just slide off the axle, but it wouldn't, even with a few good raps with a 12" wrench handle. I'd rather not hit it too hard, as I worry about flat spots on the balls or races. Any ideas, or do I have to grit my teeth and whack it harder with a real hammer?? Thanks
