i am replacing a right ball joint on my 05 outback. not a lot of fun on a car from the rust belt. in the process. i used heat on the ball joint pinch bolt and melted a hole in the outer cv boot. i pulled the axle out and it is in the vice on my bench but i can't figure out how to get the cv joint off of the axle. i have looked for a snap ring and have beat on it with a hammer...... i really beat on it it hasn't moved.
i have searched google and this board but have come up empty.
anyone out there have done this and can help?
