I am trying to switch out my CV Axle with no luck. I am stuck on getting that stupid ball joint away from the knuckle. I used a pickle fork to help that was no good. (my boot was already torn on the ball joint, will change when I have the money) So do I need a large crow bar then? I have already bent a jack handle. Any advice. I have also tried hitting it with hammer and no luck there either. I heard no popping sound when using the pickle fork.I need to have this job done by Monday
