hey guys,,with your help I have attempted to change the cv joints and axles on my daughters 93 accord. Everything has gone easily ,thanks to yall, except the on on the drivers side. The stupid thing is stuck inside the rotor, I have put a two ton axle puller on it but it still wont budge. What do I do now??

if you are talking about the balljoint, then you need to use more muscle.
if you are talking about the axle being stuck in the halfshaft, a crobar, 4 lbs hammer, and patience will do the job.
if you are talking about the axle spindles being stuck in the rotors, then, spray some liquid penetrator and use more muscle. if that still doesnt work, remove the whole spindle and knuckle, then pop the axle off the halfshaft. to prevent it from happening again, put a good layer of axle grease in all spindles when reinstalling.
