How to seperate AWD CV shaft from intermediate shaft?

[sleepydsm]

How do you do that?! I've been trying and trying. Press?

Obviously Front left driver's side CV axel.
1g awd 5spd

you're talking about seperating the cv shaft from the half shaft that bolts to the block, correct? If so, grab a pry bar and a BFH and "encourage" them apart. They're a pain in the ass, since most of the time they don't like to seperate.

hmm.
I might just take it to work and use real tools to attack it. we'll see!

You can hammer on that half shaft part (that bolts to the block) and eventually it will separate. I've had to do this only a few times but everytime it only took like 10 wind-up hits. =)

Grow a pair and hammer the shit outta it!

Yep had the same problem with my 2g, I pretty much ruined my half shaft seperating them. I did the same thing everyone else did though hammer the $hit out of it.
