The tool that the OP posted will not work with our CV joint. How do I know, I have one of those tools and when I tried to use it on the X it wouldn't fit the cv joint. Perhaps I should just let you guys buy the tools and let you find out for yourself that the tool won't work on our truck. This will be after you have the axle out of the hub and can't figure a way to remove the CV joint from the axle.
I suggested using a Brass drift and a Big hammer, which worked for me. The brass drift will not damage the surface of the CV joint since brass is a soft material, and you need the weight of a heavy hammer to provide enough force to overcome the clip that is retaining the cv joint to the axle. I have always offered solutions to car problems base on my experience with the job. If I never did the job I will not offer advice.
If you know of a better way to remove the CV joint off the axle, lets hear it.
