Why is the cv shaft stuck in my escort?
Trying to remove CV shaft. Part remains stuck in the transmission I changed the rear springs on my newly acquired ’98 Escort last week. Now I am turning my attention the the other end. The driver’s side CV shaft was making the dreaded popping noise, and had some lost motion in the outer end. It was past its prime.
What’s the best way to remove a cv shaft?
Once everything is properly disconnected, & you have firm purchase on the shaft near the xmission, the shock force of the slide hammer is able to break it free. Worked for me on my Corolla. Not sure if this works on Fords tho. Me, I’d rely on Tester’s advice first. But if that doesn’t work, a slide hammer might be an effective alternative.

What to do when your wheel bearing is stuck?
If the threads aren’t too screwed up on the axle yet, put the castle nut back on, but backwards so you don’t mushroom the end as much. Then go back and forth between beating on the puller and beating directly on the axle with your sledge. It’ll take time, but has always worked for me.
