Tackled the cv boot replacement today. What is the trick to driving...
the cv off the end of the axle with the big bolt? I'm stuck now cause I can't get the cv off. The bolt just seems to bottom out. Even put a 8mm socket in before the bolt thinking it would give the additional length I needed. ha Pushed the socket in with the bolt. Nothing, same deal, bottomed out the bolt. Hope someone can enlightened me as I need the car for Monday. What size are the 6 bolts going into the transaxle? Differnt then a torx, more smaller teeth. I could not locate one at Napa.
P.S. The upper pinch bolt was hell! Glad I bought spare. My TRE bolt seems seized up too.

on my 01 the bolt just bottomed out and I had to drive the CV off with a drift. On my friend's '00
the bolt popped the CV off. So I think there is a difference between the parts used.
