G'day everyone, nice forum very useful!
I'm trying to replace the passenger side CV shaft on my wifes V6 TH auto and can't seem to lever the shaft out of the box.
I've been trying all day and getting nowhere.

Tried two different size pry bars, tried pushing on them with my foot, I even tried yanking on the drive shaft (I know this damages them but it's stuffed anyway)

It just will not come out !
Any suggestions?

Sounds like a job for 2 pry bars at the same time - 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom.

Mmm, maybe rotate the drive shaft so the retaining clip is in a different position then try again from underneath with the 2 pry bars side by side.

Cheers

Hmm, what a waste of a day..
Decided to give pry bar one more go and pop!
It came out..
