Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of replacing the inner boot of the driver's side CV axle, which had a rip. I read a number of posts here and found this video on YouTube that shows how to separate the joint from the axle (go to the 4:00 mark):
I tried to do the same exact thing (but am putting a piece of paper towel between the hammer and the joint to protect it a little):
but the joint won't budge from the axle.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this particular step?
Also does anyone know where I can find the tool I need to crimp the clamps? (international auto does not have them in stock)
Thank you all in advance.
Igor
