Inner CV joint stuck on axle, can't remove

[steved0x]

That grease is a mess, but once you get it apart I have heard that soaking it in a bucket of kerosene will dissolve the old grease and let you put in new fresh grease. If you think you might ever do a track day you may want to consider a higher temp grease like Redline CV-2. With the axle off, you can also change the outer boot too by sliding it down the shaft and off the same end as the inner boot. As much of a hassle as it is to get the axles in and out you don't want to have to go back in anytime soon.

I though Meir had a thread about axles and CV Joints but I can't seem to find it to share - hopefully he will chime in on this thread.

Good luck!

i had issues removing the shaft itself from the car, and the CV from the shaft.
ended up pounding it using a chisel and a heavy hammer.
just hit the CV joint on the inner race.
