Hi. I'm replacing both the cv half-shafts in my saab. The drivers-side shaft came out easily, but my problem is the passenger-side inner half shaft is stuck inside the intermediate shaft. My question is... if there is a clip that's holding it in or is it just stuck in there? ...and if it is just stuck, how would I be able to remove it?
Thanks.
