!!! Please read the full description for important safety and disclaimer information !!!
When replacing the CV axles on my 2000 Volvo V70 wagon I ran into a big problem trying to remove one axle. The splines on the inner CV joint, on the drivers side (left), were heavily rusted making it extremely difficult to remove. This video shows how I was able to successfully remove the stuck inner CV joint without damaging my transmission/differential.
Be advised that the threading on the Maddox puller set from Harbor Freight is NOT 5/8" 18TPI (Threads Per Inch). The thread pitch is probably something like 20 TPI and it is not compatible with a lot of puller attachments.
Here is a link to a puller set that I bought after the video was made that will work with the more commone 5/8" 18 TPI attachments. It also includes the attachment needed for connecting clamping pliers.

I have also purchased this crow's foot attachments for the puller. It might help with pulling the Volvo axle but I haven't tested it yet.

*** Be careful not to kink, tweak or stress your brake hoses when removing your axles!!! I replaced all my brake hoses with braided steel hoses at the same time I replaced my axles so I wasn't concerned with protecting them during this video.
*** My apologies for the length of the video. I was new to making videos and admittedly this one is way too long.

Thank you so much man! Price on slide hammer is now $100 at Harbor Freight but still cheaper than sending to the shop.

@drrichardpaul 11 месяцев назад

So, there’s a better manner. It saves time. It’s a little more expensive, but it’s less hassle. They make a product called “cv axle puller”. It looks like a giant claw foot. You stack it between the flute and the differential. As you’re beating it out with that hammer, you’re also prying with the tool. If the claw foot doesn’t go around the flute toward the differential, it acts like a wedge and you can beat it in. After it’s in, just pry and beat until it comes out. If it doesn’t, then the cv axle got pinned over and that is a longer and much more costly project.

@fiveable 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your comment. I actually have a couple of different sized CV axle puller attachments now. They do look like a thin claw foot spanner. Not sure if they would have helped with this particular setup though. There was almost no gap between the cup and the housing of the differential.

@TekkenBones 3 года назад

Get a LONG chain, wrap it around the rear of the axle and extend the chain (both ends) outside of the wheel well... then wrap ends of the chain ends around a big bar of block of wood, then hit the block/bar with a hammer. Learnt that from another YT video the other day.

Hi Able, I purchased the set up that you have and had the same trouble with the vise grips slipping. I used my plasma cutter to cut a hole in the side (warning, lots of flames!) which allowed the vise-grips to hold and 5 or 6 whacks and it was out! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

This video was the BEST and MOST helpful. I want to add that the part number for the vise grips you are using is IRHT82573 or 10CR. Very specific set to have the 3x grip. Also, to extend the slide hammer, I used 3ft of threaded rod 7/16 from Lowe's for 5 bucks. Threads right into the vise.

@bgik12 7 лет назад

I needed this right now. I have been working on my 2005 mazda3 hatchback for 5 days with no luck getting the inner cv axle to budge. Tried every method mentioned in the comments and video, no luck, I am trying this tonight just got myself the slide hammer and vice grips at harbor freight, again thanks for the upload and good video.

@markyager3701 Год назад

The best way to get a stuck cv axel joint out it is to use the old vc Axel joint and use a pair of vice grips and use the end where there's the joint the contact to inside the cv axel put them to together and then use the vice grips to clip it on the outer side of the cv boot and slide the cv axel back toward u really fast it might take a few but it will come right out

@shaunaquin4242 6 лет назад

@chrisg.6927 6 лет назад

After watching this I welded my vise grip adjuster screw to my small dent puller slide hammer shaft and the stuck shaft came out after about 6 min.. weld a spot on the stuck shaft so the vise grips(Menard's 5.99) don't slide off. Thanks, very good diy.

@condor5635 4 года назад

Excellent work. Love how you improvised! I had to do something very similar. I ended up cutting 2 through slots (used Dremel cutting disc wheel) in that housing 180 degrees apart where you welded. I then used the slide hammer tool attachment that has the two expanding jaws with teeth to grip into the two slots. Then when using the slide hammer it pulls straight out right in the center axis of the housing. Came out similar to yours! Isn't great that we come up with these ingenious ideas? It took me an extra hour to do it but well worth it. Great job on the Volvo! Thanks for posting!

@fiveable 4 года назад

That’s awesome! So glad you were able to get yours out too. I love the Dremel cutting disc wheel idea! Those things will cut through anything! I always keep cutoff wheels stocked for my Dremel. Wish that had occurred to me when I was trying to pull my axle. Thanks for your comment and kind words! Stay safe!

@zachs4692 4 года назад

I had same fight tonight no axle smacker available , I used vice grips hooked a chain to screw on vice grips hooked to cup then gave myself about three feet of chain wrapped around sledge hammer swung out once and bravo.

@elliotthorum3671 3 года назад

THIS! This, right here...-THIS- saved me this afternoon. Vice grips, a length of braided cable and my splitting maul swinging like a golf club a bunch of times, but it sure worked in the end once I finally got a good enough bite with the vice grips.

@sooke54 7 лет назад

Putting a hose clamp around the vice grip handles will stop it from slipping. I'm amazed that there is not a better tool on the market for pulling axles. I've had my share of stuck ones, and I've searched youtube for solutions. The one that struck me as the most cheap and effective is to slip a strong cable around the transmission end of the axle, tighten the loop with a cable clamp, then loop the other end around a ten pound sledge, and start swinging away from the car.

@drrichardpaul 11 месяцев назад

There is a better tool for pulling axles. It’s called an axle puller. It looks like an overgrown claw foot, but it screws into the slide hammer. You put the claw between the differential and the flute and pry out some as you’re hammering it out. The other way to do this is to take off the other side and use a long chisel it to push the side out the other side. I prefer the easy manner, myself.

@debtminer4976 7 лет назад

You saved my tail. Thought I was going to have to make this tool. Went to HF, I already had the straight jaw Irwin grips, which bit right in.. thing popped out in 30 seconds. Best of all, I can still use my vise grips. Thanks for this.

@debtminer4976 7 лет назад

Five Able Yea.. saved a lot of time too, not having to run around and all. Spent 4 hrs the night before, prying, trying to noose some old 3/32 cable (broke it) to a sledge, grinding deeper grooves in the cup for prying etc.. and nothing. This normalized my blood pressure.. You deserve this beer..🍻

@toddcott9510 5 лет назад

I made one of these tools up years ago, for no particular job, but its so useful for getting a good straight pull, a little grinding paste is good to improve grip between the jaws. Thanks for sharing. Put copper grease on the new part.

@fiveable 4 года назад

Just found this comment. Sorry for not replying 11 months ago! Thanks for the tip about Grinding Paste I'll definitely add that to my list of tricks! When you mention Copper Grease are you talking about a copper based anti-seize? I have a jar of the alumnimum based anti-seize. When I did this axle just cleaned as much of the rust out as I could and used brown grease liberally. Wasn't sure if the anti-seize I had would be too much.

@ifixeditmyself1926 Год назад

That was great. It had a lot of rust. It really helps to see the importance of grease on the ends of the axle. Thanks!

@Eurospec73 3 года назад

That's a great trick that you used with the slide hammer and welding the vise grip to the axle cup. I think there's an easier way to do it though from what Ive seen on other axle cups in the center of that axle cup especially the one you have, you should have a release pin you could easily use a 3/8 6-in extension and Hammer and just hammer out the release pin using the 3/8 6-in extension and Hammer. If you have 2 people one to hammer and one to pull it would probably help out better to pull it off. Or you could also rent a axle cup puller tool and save hours as well.👍

I had the same problem. The vise grip just keep slipping. What I did was grind a spot inside the peace that your struggling with a small grinder. That would give the vise grip a good place to bite down and won’t slip off. With three pulls it came off.

Grinder is a great idea since most people don’t have a welder!

@johnjoseph7382 5 лет назад

just a couple tips, 1) just pull the knuckle and get it out of the way, sometimes we try to cheat by not taking other things in our way off 2) you can wrap a towel around the slide hammer and just pull the towel towards you and you will save your hands from getting hurt

@johnjoseph7382 5 лет назад

@@fiveable just to be clear, wrap a medium size towel(about two and a half feet) around the sledge hammer once so you have about 7 inches on both sides dangling for you to grab, then just pull the sides of the towel, without touch the slide hammer with your hands at all, the slide hammers come in handy more for pulling the hub when replacing the hub, bearing, or both if the hub is bent and is warping your rotors....which tends to happen after hitting a curb or speed bump too hard

TRY THIS IF YOUR IN A PINCH! Step 1 Rip the axle out. Step 2 cut the boot off the axle you just removed. Step 3 insert the axle right back into the thing your trying to remove. Step 4 put locking pliers on the thing your trying to remove and lock down the pliers as tight as you can. Step 5 slam the axle back and forth against the locking pliers until it pulls out.

@@fiveable if you have two of those irons you can change your own tires. Just changed a set two weeks ago for my Metro. Go to RU-vid to find out the method.

Not familiar with these things but why can't you leave that part in place? Is it the inner race type thing?

What kind of engineer designed a seal for the cup you were pulling on? There is supposed to be oil in the housing that cup was mounted in hence the seal behind the cup when it was removed. Maybe a little oil in there would go a long way in solving this problem or even grease or Never Seize.
