Re: Need some more help with CV job

["Michael Abatzis" <abatzis@hotmail.com>]

i know mine do have a circlip that fits in a groove in the axle, but it's
inaccessable, and you just have to hit the whole cv joint to remove it. if
it were my axle, i'd go with "smack them harder". don't know about the 8v's
though.
