jmitro is on a distinguished road
Changed my leaking CV joint boots this weekend and this writeup summarizes it well.

I spent an hour and a half trying to get the stub axle out of the hub. Used penetrating oil, propane torch, and a BFH. Unfortunately screwed up the threads on the axle. Spent another hour trying to regrind the threads on the axle. So BE CAREFUL not to jack the axle threads!
