I am taking out my transfer case and my front drive shaft does not want to come out at the axle, i unbolted all of the 6 bolts that hold the cv shaft on and it will not budge, i have no clue what it holding this together and any help would be appreciated.

 

Use a prybar between the pinion nut and the u-joint.

 

its a CV drive shaft, so theres no u-joint or pinion nut to pry

 

6 bolts? There should be 4 on each end. And usually when mine won't budge I just hit the side of the shaft with a hammer

 

ITS A CV DRIVESHAFT, this it what it looks like... you can see the six bolts im talking about, this isnt my picture just one off google

 

Take a hammer (heavier the better) and hit it as needed at the seam in-between the nut and the bolt.

 

X2, I haven't seen a shaft like that on a jeep before

 

remove 6 bolts and get a Big hammer ,works better if you warm it up with a torch

 

well most Grand cherokees 95 and older have them, i dont know why, they really suck

 

Ok I have an xj so I don't fool around under zj's too often lol

 

GOOD you dont want to

 

Haha good to know

 

IT WORKED, i was feeling a little skeptical after half an hour of beating it, but it came loose, the hammer did however take a number on my driveshaft, but i can worry about that later!!!

 

If you used heat, you may want to take a look at your Pinion seal, it may be toasted. A deadblow hammer may work a little easier on the shaft if you need to do it again.

 

my suggestion is since you have it out anyway, spend a couple bucks at the local junkyard and get one with ujoints. i had the cv driveshaft and i spit 2 of them out, the cv joint jst didnt want to hold up to my driving conditions (my ZJ is off road only not a daily driver) so one day i got fed up with it and spent $15 for a driveshaft from a ZJ and a pinion yoke from a YJ but you can pull thoes off of pretty much anything with a d30. one more piece of advice, go buy a new pinion nut at like autozone rather than trying to use an old junkyard one. i m not quite sure why but a friend of mine owns solid axle industries told me never to reuse and old pinion nut.
