    We need to replace the cv joint because of a vibration. My husbands slidehammer set has every accessory except the spoon like cv joint remover. We can purchase it but it will be at least a week before we get it and he is doubtful that will work. We are just trying to figure out what may cause the shaft to be stuck in the tranny. He's pulled alot of cv joints an never had one stick this bad.

    Had one that stuck really bad on one of my brother's Neons once.

    We tried lots of different things, even devising a two man puller and it still wouldn't budge. We ended up using a chisel to a gap started between the axle and the case. After that got the chsiel in a good position and hammered on it til the axle finally popped.

    He thought of trying that but the subframe is in the way plus the tranny case is aluminum and he's afraid he'll crack it.

    The case is thick, probably thicker than that of a Neon.

    Can you rent one from your local store? I know my local Checker rents tools out like this.
