I think thats for knocking the axle through the bearing. I have the axle on the bench in a vise. the outer joint spposed to come off by hitting it with a soft hammer but no go.

ah..ok. where did those instructions come from? that's a first for me. BTW the puller I mentioned was to seperate the outboard CV stub shaft. an assumption on my part, thought that's where you were.

unfortunately no....my account isn't active. the link I gave in a previous post is to the full ford technical CD's. they should be a great help, as that's where I got my info from.
sorry I couldn't help more, hope this helps some.

looking more thoroughly through this, it shows no other removal technique. in fact it's showing that the outer joint can't be removed from the half shaft. the inner joint can be and should be sufficient to replace boots. let me know if this works or is workable for you. dinners over and the wife will want the comp soon.

replacing the joints are such a pain, i have always just got a whole new axle assembly. by the time you go through the hassle of removing the joint and regreasing and rebooting, you would have wished you just paid the extra 10 or 20 bucks for the whole deal. hell, just not having to deal with the grease is worth the 20 bucks. lol

The boot cost me less than 20 bucks. Comes with greese why would I want to do anything else? On my 99 cd it says to use a brass drift to knock it off. Its in a different area than the axle install. You have to go back to the menu and choose front drive half shafts then assembly and dissassembly.At least on mine CD. I will get it off.
Its gotta be replacable,the joint and the boot.
