Jason15036 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hey guys im in the middle of changing my drivers side cv joint and I having a big problem getting the cupler out of the transmission. i unclamped the clamp so I could pull the rest of the cv joint out, But now the only thing stopping me is the coupler in the tranny. Is there any tricks to it. Please help if any info. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 In my manual it states to remove the driveaxle from the transaxle with a prybar.. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think the newer cars require a large 'C' tool and a slide hammer. I just tried to change mine on the 2001 and had the same problem. The newer service manual mentions these 2 tools. They used to simply pop out. Anyway, I had to put off the repair for another day. Many part stores will rent these tools.

Scotty Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks Logan, hopefully he didn't get in there to strong with the prybar. I am always reluctant to comment on years that I am not familiar with .... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason15036 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I replaced my right front one the other day and the coupler came out easy with a pry bar. But the one on the left side is in a tight area and its hard to get a pry bar in there with good leverage. Thanks for the replies guys.

KHE Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Get the slide hammer tool and c-clip attachment - it will come right out. Kevin '93 Fleetwood Brougham '05 Deville '04 Deville 2013 Silverado Z71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
