Technical Inner CV joint (shaft) removal HELP

[szamat2012a]

Hi everyone!

I have a 2009 Fiat 500 1.2 8v. What is the simplest and best way to remove the inner CV joints? Many people have said that they are difficult to get out of the differential.
Maybe with slide hammer? But how?

I'm afraid I might damage the gearbox housing or the differential. With French cars, the joint usually pops out easily with a pry bar, but so far I haven’t even been able to budge it with that.


Thanks!

You may have to pry both opposite sides at the same time if it's particularly tight, in these situations I would use the points over the nuts (at least the nuts are cheaply replaced)
Just saying...
