You either need bigger tools or more muscles.lol. But seriouly they dont just pop off. You gotta put some weight behind it.
I broke three wrenches turning the puller. The threads on the puller are very worn in the spot I've been cranking them on. I hit the tip of the CV spindle with a hammer first, then a plumbers wrench with the nut backed off so I didn't damage the spindle. Lots of PB blaster on the hub, tho it's hard to get it in the right spot. I have been hammering on it two different days. If I bring it in a shop to do I'm afraid they'll just bust it and charge me to replace the CV axle.
Is there a way to open the CV joint and get the spindle out? Or is the next step to replace the rear axle?
