Took me maybe 20 mins to pull the axle, and then an hour to remove the CV joint from the axle. Geez that was a PITA to get it off! The sound it made when it popped off was extremely satisfying...

glad you got it all done... and hope you didn't get grease everywhere (though it's next to impossible not to).

A wimpy claw hammer won't do. Something heavy will pop the joint right off.

used a five pound framing hammer. That sucker wouldnt budge

I eas trying to 'pound' the CV joint off the front driveshaft on the urq. No way was it coming off. Tried and tried, even with a huge hammer.

Then I remembered it is the same driveshaft as on the rear of a 4kq. I wonder...?

Sure enough, once I undid the circlip that was hiding in the grease, the CV joint came right off.. :-)

(Just so you know: Front 4kq CV joint just pop off *without* having to undo a circlip!)
