What a fukcing biitch. The muthafukcing inner CV joint will not release itself from the transmission for shiit. Sumnabiitch is up on jack stands right now in my buddy's garage. I know his wife gets pissed at me.
Getting the CV shafts pulled from the wheel/rotor is tedious, but easy. The Haynes manual sends you to like 8 different sections because the parts involved ar mixed among "Driveaxle" section and "Steering and Suspension" section. So sorting through all of that was tough at first, but doing the second side was easy after doing the first.
So getting the shafts separated is no problem. But I guess after 163K miles, the shafts get welded to the transmission or something. Advance has a $16 tool that we couldn't get our hands on yesterday that could help. Word is NAPA has something too. So I gotta try to find that tool today so I can finish the job.
