I have a 1992 acura integra, and i can not remove the cv joint to drop the transmisson.
Why not?
You can’t remove the halfshaft from the hub? Or you can’t remove the halfshaft from the transaxle?
Tester
the half shaft from the hub
Is the lower ball joint and tie rod end disconnected?
Tester
yes but everything is still in the way for it to be removed
Then smack the end of the half shaft with a dead blow plastic mallet. If that won’t force it out of the hub, then you might need a tool such as this. http://www.carparts.com/HUB-PULLER/GP_2007833_N__10618.car?zmam=73771597&zmas=17&zmac=99&zmap=10618-2007833

Tester
