Honestly, I think it's easier to just replace the whole thing.... not too pricy...

While it's out, take a vice or C-clamp and press the studs out of the stub shafts sticking out of the differential, and replace them with some bolts and nuts. I know you don't like to think about this... but next time you have to do thsi job (sigh) it'll be a lot easier to get those CVs out.

With 200+ Billion electrical parts, the world most complicated machine is inside your own skull.

Question Reality.
