[Diy_efi] HALF SHAFTS (CV) AXLES

[Bobby Yates Emory]

Raymond,

(I've never worked on a Probe - these ideas come from working on older
cars.)

Three thoughts:

1. The hub puller you want is made to work this way - push with the
center bolt.  You might have the wrong one.  The center bolt needs to be
about 3/4 inch.

2. Did he explain about the big hammer?  After you get the puller in
place and all bolts as tight as you dare, hit the center bolt with a big
hammer.  That is what breaks the spline alose.

3. If you think you will ever have to work on this again, I would put
anti-seize on the splines.  (I haven't tried this - I just like anti-seize.)

Good luck,
Bobby
