Well, thanks everyone! I tried and still couldn't get the IFS/CV axle out. I've got to get a BJ <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />...puller...a ball joint puller that is. What I'll probably try tomorrow is just using a reciprocating saw and just cut enough studs to let the CV axle drop. It will probably have enough room if I cut just one or two studs. Then I can pop the stub axle out (A BIG <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />THANK YOU <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> to OOPS) and hammer out the rest of the studs and replace them with bolts. Should go a lot faster on the other side. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. Thanks again everyone <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
