Trying to take out drive shafts from gearbox, do i just put a pry bar between CV cup and gearbox then push? how hard should it be too come out?

Also removing front hubs from the ball joint, using a piece of wood on the bolt then air hammer on that, doesnt seem to be moving. Am i just terrible at this or should i do something else?
any and all help please.

Yes, pry bar between CV cup & box. The drivers side is a sh*t load easier to pop than the passenger. What you can do, is once you've popped the drivers side out (and be prepared with a bucket for oil, because it will piss out everywhere) is then (and this is pending the fact you have a standard diff) use a long thin bar, I use a curtain rail, slide it into the box on the drivers side & give it a couple of whacks to pop out the passenger side.

For ball joints, be prepared to sacrifice the nut. Wind out out till its a few threads above the top of the ball joint, and start whacking, not with a piece of wood, but a big bit of steel. Again, I use an old mini gearbox layshaft. It'll be in f*cking tight. I also recommend you leave the bolts in where the strut meets the hub, gives it a leverage point when belting the nut on top of the ball joint.

awesome, ill try that with the drive shafts. + e-peen as usual

Got the hubs off just then. had to smack the knuckle something fierce to get the bolt to come out. special thanks to ericthecarguy for that one

got the driver side shaft out by prying it, but then came the good/bad news. there is a shaft in the way to poke out the passenger side, would that be a LSD?

not sure if good or bad but the passenger side boot was torn in two so i pulled out the CV and all thats left is the cup. but that motherfucker is stuck in there, had a rope around it with 3 people pulling and a screwdriver at 180 degrees trying to pry it, and still it didnt come out.....
Ill try again tomorrow.

Ive managed to pop the PS CV with a large flat head screwdriver and a rubber mallet.

You got an LSD ya c**t
