wpoll,

- Appreciate the trick for undoing the OUTER CV Joint. But my experience in Volvo is that the OUTER has a hidden C-clip inside the OUTER CV Joint,
which can be difficult to spread apart to pull the joint apart.


oldskewel,

- The INNER Tripod, no need to use slide hammer, a simple puller, even 2-prong puller, will do just fine.

- Below is the trick from Volvo S60 forum, same idea as X5 as the CV Joint is made by the same GKN company.
