OTC inner CV puller (slide hammer attatchment) efficiency

[techenthusiast]

I need to pull a set of FWD axles soon from a 95 civic.

I was thinking about picking up the 9 way slide hammer set, the slide hammer extension and the CV puller attatchment.

7507
7508
4579

That's about $160 total but the 9 way puller set seems very versatile. Looks like I could find other uses for it than just this axle job?

That puller is compatible with the extension and attatchment right?

Is this the best way to go? I'm sure I'll be pulling other axles in the future.

I have the 7507 and the 7508, excellent tools. I also have the 6541 for pulling CV axle seals. Here's a tip: when pulling CV axle seals, reach in with nose pliers and pull out the rubber seal and spring first; that way your pulling hook will be able to grab the metal seal housing. Make sure your slide hammer is threaded 5/8''-18.

On Hondas you don't need a puller or slide hammer. They come out pretty easy if you wedge a prybar between the ****** and the inner joint housing and you give it a good pry. Some Ody's have and issue where one side won't come out and you have to push in the clip from the hole in the other side of the diff. Other than that never had an issue.

If you have a 2 or 4 post lift, it is easy to use a pry bar and pry out the Honda axle but it is very difficult on jack stands.
