You have two choices to remove the axle: 1. free the spindle (bearing carrier) from LBJ; 2. remove the muffler. It's pretty common to see zip-tie at the CV boots; you're not the only one. Are you using Home Depot bearing tool or the actual bearing tool?
Heiko: I removed my CV joint by removing the LBJ. However, I don't see what's so complicated about it. I've worked on a lot of FWD CV joints and I understand the toughness but that's only because I didn't have the proper tool or applied hte right method.
The special tools you need to get it completed are:
1. BJ spreader
2. Hub puller (5lbs hammer)
You can get all of that HF; I rented mine.
