For those who've done it before on a n/z600 car, how tough is it to remove the stub axle from the steering knuckle?
I need to replace a torn outer CV boot. The manual calls for a special puller-type tool to press the stub axle out of the steering knuckle, but on a lot of front-wheel-drive cars the practice is simply to whack the stub axle out of the steering knuckle with a hammer and a block.
Any other input on practical procedures for disassembly and accessing the outer CV (beyond the procedures spelled out in the z600 manual) would be appreciated, too.
Thanks,
Richard
