I don't usually ask for help but this one has got me baffled, I am working on a buddy's 99 Sportsman 500 and I can't get the left inner cv joint out, I have the complete right shaft out and everything but the the cup of the inner joint out on the left, I got it to move a little but now its completely stuck and wont move out or in and I've never had so much trouble with one of these. I have heated it and tried pounding it out from the right side with a 3lb hammer, Ive soaked it in wd40, pb blaster, atf fluid and even some bombardier lube that I had laying around and still have got no where, even tried to get it to move with my air hammer and still nothing, just wondering if anyone has any advice that might help me. Thanks.

 

Sometimes you need the rapid motion of a good air hammer on frozen/rusted parts to break them free. An air hammer along with some helping hands with a pry bar on the outer part of the cup while you impact through the right side can actually do more work than a 3 lb hammer and a chisel can.And a lot less frustrating.

 

On the left side I have a pickle fork on the top of the cup and a pry bar on the bottom and was pounding it from the right side with my snap on air hammer, after i heated it up and still got no where , its driving me nuts, im still soaking it down with stuff hoping something might get in there and free it up a little

 

Here is two red neck methods that may work.

The bottom video has to work even if its seized good. Definably plan B though. LOL
