I swear, these CV axles are more persistent than dogs in heat.

YOU DA MAN

Worked great after struggling for an hour

Aside from the broken axle flying out and whopping me in the back of the head giving me severe brain damage after it came out, great idea!

Just used a version of this for my atv with the inner cv being the only thing left for the axle. Placed a clamp on each side, wrapped a strap around both clamps and swung the hammer, sucker popped right out! Thank you so much!!

Well, I'll be! I just did your trick on my Mercedes E350!!! MB had some special $400 tool to pull it but I just used the strap/hammer and voila! Had the brake rotor in front of it (which I wrapped with a towel) so it didn't go flying anywhere. Worked awesome!!! THANK YOU! Made the job super easy.

Thanks so much for this tip! I tried this yesterday on my 2017 Polaris Ranger's rear cv axle shaft and it worked! I used a sledge hammer and a tow strap. It took me about 20ish swings, but it eventually came out. This saved me from bringing it into the shop. Thanks again!

I used this method on a toyota corolla today. Worked good. Took about 4 swings.

It worked! A makeshift slide hammer, was trying to get it off with pry bars etc and saw this video, had to try for a good 5 minutes and harder each time, but it finally came out. Was about to take it to a mechanic :(

Screw my cv axle puller, this worked like a champ

[fiercefix]

Tie another piece to something heavy the other side with a bit of slack enough to allow the shaft to come out but not fly like super shaft & smash something like a leg . Otherwise good tip .
