I use the head of large ball pein hammer to fill the space between the vice grips and the bearing cup then I pry between the hammer and the vice grips. I have already "straightened" a prybar trying to get the axle out! Where do you get room to hammer?. Space is limited here. Thanks for the help though. !!! w |

Interesting approach.
Does this require taking the brake pads and rotors off? Apart from unbolting the control arm, what else needs to come out without going through the hassle of futzing around with the axel nut? [QUOTE=dville;792413]Weasel, following your advice, but stuck.... I do the following: 1) unbolt the control arm (the straight arm) at the end closer to the engine. 2) swing out the whole assembly by hand and afix with something firmly 3) remove outer boot clamps and cut off the outer boot. 4) grab the driveaxle firmy with vice grips and pry the shaft out of the CV joint against the force of the retaining C-clip. 5) wipe off grease, install new clamp, boot, clamp and C-clip. 6) while applying pressure to push axle back into CV joint, use a good sized screwdriver and poke at the C clip until it snaps in. 7) Apply the grease from the packet and then tighten clamps. 8) put on tie rod and only tighten it once vehicle weight is on the front wheels.
