You can't pull a joint. You've probably pulled the ligaments or tendons attached to the bones in the area of the joint. So don't put too much stress on the ligaments/tendons but keep it moving and it should significantly improve in the next couple of weeks, and be fully recovered within the next few months. Be careful though, it's easy to do long-term damage to ligaments/tendons as they have a poor blood supply and so scar easily.
So that we can pull and push both.
Slip joint pliers are common tools in the workshop typically used to pull things that are stuck.
A lat pull down will move the shoulder and elbow the most, primary is probably shoulder.
Undo the 17ml pinch bolt holding the bottom ball joint on, hammer down on the lower arm to get the ball joint out of the hub.... Undo the 32ml hub nut (this will be tight) and then pull the hub towards you whilst gently tapping then end of the CV joint to get this out of the hub..... The tricky bit will be getting the CV joint off..... Clean the inside of the joint off (can get messy) and feel around for a circlip.... Use a pair of circlip pliers to open the circlip and then pull on the CV joint to remove it from the driveshaft and then pull the gaitor off...... To put the CV joint back on open the circlip again and then gently tap the CV joint on until the circlip locates itself on the groove on the driveshaft.
Simply unbolt the rear u-joint, the center bearing (if any) and pull it out.
The shaft should have a clip on it and you just have to give it a quick yank to pull it out of the CV joint then you can slip the boot on.
you have to pull the wheel when you pull the wheel off you should see a huge nut in the center of the wheel assembly, an air powered impact gun is required to remove this remove this first. Then find the upper and lower ball joints. I would then remove both cater pins (they pass through the nut on each ball joint). next remove the the nut on the bottom ball joint then pull the control arm down. then remove the nut from the upper ball joint and pull the upper control arm away from the wheel assembly. at this point you should assure that the brake caliper is off of the disc or maybe even do this prior to these steps. you now should be able to pull the wheel assembly away form the outer part of the cv joint, after you have that off you can pull the cv joint from the inner part of the joint away from the trans-axle just find a pry bar place in between the cv joint and trans axle and pull them away from each other you might even be able to just wrap your hands around the inner part of the cv joint and just pull. you then put the new cv joint in place of the old one and put it all back together. The process in the same for most models of the Olds. Bravada, GMC jimmy, and Chevys blazer and s-10 as well as many others too. if you haven't already i would recommend that you also replace the upper and lower ball joints while every thing is apart as they tend to go bad often in these models
pull the drive line, pop the caps off the u-joint, and drive the u-joint out of the drive-line and install the new one.
has front end been lubed lately? if it has, then u need to pull cv joint apart and replace worn parts. it is an easy job if you have a shop manuel as well sometimes it is not the cv joint but the locking hubs. that is easier job than a cv joint
To pull the outer CV joint on a 1996 Honda FourTrax ATV to replace the boot, first, remove the wheel and brake caliper, then disconnect the axle nut using a socket. Next, use a hammer or a CV joint puller to tap the joint off the axle shaft, taking care not to damage the splines. Once removed, you can replace the boot and reassemble the joint by reversing the steps. Be sure to use new grease and securely fasten all components during reinstallation.
yes. i had it happen to me
