I hope your seals are okay. My CV shells are stuck in my bare trans and oil leaks out with the trans on it's side. And I drained it before removing.

I was in your shoes Tom. With a man trans festiva. 5 hours or so of wedging, chiseling, prying, pulling, two at a time. ETC ETC :angry1: This morning I solved it. I wanted a slide hammer. Advance has them but not the c part Jay mentioned. I found the tool online but couldn't get it in time. Deadline was tomorrow morning. So I made this....
One cable on each side for even pressure. I made sure to pull perfectly straight. I had already tried unsuccessfully at a slight angle when something was in my way. So I moved said thing and pulled straight. I had about 4 feet of slack in the cable too for a long stroke. I also put the "big tuning fork" that I had been using to pry between the cross member and the trans to support the trans and prevent the motor and trans mounts from absorbing the shock and stealing the force I was exerting. I yanked and on the 4th or 5th pull she popped out. Mine was stuck so fiercely because it is brand new. Last week new axle, same day new seal leak. Today I got it out, replaced the seal and it's back on.Last edited by neanderpaul; 09-05-2011, 10:46 PM.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DD

And this is the real tool you want. I'm glad mine worked but I'd like to have this. It should make life a lot easier. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/OTC...t-Puller-2TVR1youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DD

Thanks Paul! I talked to Greg about this lat week, and he mentioned he did a similar process, but he used straps. I'm gonna try using a tiedown later this week with the slide hammer I recently bought. Failing that, I see that it is possible to buy just the CV attachment for a slide hammer; just need to get one with the right thread for your slide hammer.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

For $75.00 this one looks real tempting
Some people like to read fiction,I prefer to read repair manuals. Weird I know-
