help: inner cv trouble

[treed2@u.washington.edu (T. Reed)]

The trick I used when my inner CV got stuck like this was to use a hammer
and a punch on the lip of the flange (not the thin metal CV boot lip, but
the drive flange lip)

This seems counterproductive, but there is a spring behind the flange so
hammering on the lip will help loosen the cv joint. Just be careful not to
hit so hard that you damage the lip.

It only took a few good whacks in a couple different places around the
circumference to dislodge the joint for me. Pulling on the joint did
nothing..
