[Shotimes] CV halfshaft replacement

[Dave Pillsbury]

Well you should have asked me when I was talking to your wife!! I 
usually take a big bar place it on the control arm at the strut rod 
wedge it under the subframe and seeing how I;m a fat ass I toss a little 
weight into it. Others have been known to jack the strut up with a piece 
of board wedged into the wheels studs and then pried the arm out. And in 
my old garage I could chain the arms to the floor and jack the car up 
and take them apart. I miss all those in floor hooks and chains.
