I have the new one sitting in place now after much pain the ass!

I still have the hub hanging on by the control arm and tie rod but I can't bend the new cv enough to place it into the hub. I am trying to get the control-arm to ball-joint bolts off the hub but they won't freakin' budge! I tried impact wrench, air wrench, regular wrench all with no luck! The tie rod I guess is my only other option to take loose so I can move the hub enough to get the cv in place and slide back in.

Anyone have any thoughts?

*The CV's were my problem all along, the drivers side CV inner boot didn't even have a clamp on it and just flopped around with a touch of a hand, and every single mechanic I took it to just failed to notice that. The passenger side CV had way to much freeplay and was knocking, and now its worn. Grease everywhere under the engine bay. I spent the day cleaning

I've always remove the steering rod end from the hub to do the axles in my Camry. Just don't move the adjusting nut and everything will be fine after re-installation. You will need a 2-jaw puller to pop it out of the hub. Good luck!
