CV shaft question...
Alright it's time for me to change my CV shaft but the spline on the hub end of the shaft on the car is rusted right into the hub. Now I'm sure that this is normal to have this problem but what do I do to solve this problem. Help Soon.

2.5" sledge and you just gotta keep hitting it until it comes out. also make sure you're hub is disconnected so it can say freely so when you do knock the shaft out, you'll be able to pull the hub off of it.

Re: CV shaft question...
Be careful with a sledge on the axle. If you hammer it to much you will mushroom out the end because the hole for the cotter pin will allow it to flex. Use a penetrating oil like PB Blaster to try and disolve some rust.

Re: CV shaft question...
I used a torch and heated it up and kept spraying it with pb blaster, after a lot of beating on it, it finally came out. Careful if you decided to heat it up though, I fried the antilock brake sensor and now the stupid light is on all the time.
