Q: I can't get the cv axle out of my 2006 Chevrolet Equinox
I'm replacing the cv half shaft on my 2006 Chevy Equinox. I have everything apart that's necessary but for the last 6 hours I still can't seem to break the cv axle loose and away from the transmission. Please help me before I ruin anything. Mind you that my knowledge for automobiles is limited.

The axle shaft is held in the transmission by a clip at the end of the shaft. With a quick blow the axle should come right out. There is a special adapter that is used with a slide hammer that is used to pull the axle out.
