Does anyone know how to disassemble the inner tripod CV joints? I've got the boot off and pulled back, but the bearings just...won't pull out of the housing. There's no retaining ring that I can see, or really anything else blocking it...
Mostly, I need to remove the half-shaft from the joint...I'm hoping I can just tap the joint off the splines, but don't want to break anything. I need to have custom half-shafts made up for my classic Mini EV conversion.
Should I just whack it with a drift and hammer? This is what I'm seeing:
