Yes, a shaft can snap if it is subjected to excessive force, stress, or fatigue beyond its material limits. Factors such as improper installation, wear and tear, or design flaws can contribute to this failure. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent such issues and ensure the longevity of the shaft. If you suspect your shaft is at risk, it's advisable to consult a professional.

How to Remove outer CV Honda civic 1994?

Most CV Joints are held on by retaining clips. Cut the boot out of the way and clean the grease off with brake cleaner, look for a snap ring, if no snap ring is visible then it may have a retaining clip that requires you to put shaft in a vise and hit the joint to drive the CV joint off the shaft (care should be taken not to damage the cage if it is to be re-used). With the low cost of CV 1/2 shaft assemblies, I recommend replacing the entire half shaft assembly and not bothering with removing the CV from the old shaft.
