I'm about to replace my inner CV boots (and outer's because I'm in there already) but I can't remember if I can get the half shafts out just by breaking/disconnecting one ball joint.
The last time I did this I was committed to taking the whole stub axle off so it wasn't an issue but this time I only really want to do the CV boots.
So my question is can I get the half shafts out by breaking only the taper on the upper ball joint or unbolting the lower ball joint (and maybe a tie rod)? If so, which one?
I'm pretty sure that I did it one of these ways years ago but have forgotten exactly how (not getting any younger....).
