				Don't have to take the swivel housing off - once the spindle is off they should come out.  They have to be rotated so that the flats on the birf are top/bottom.  I've had to winch a few out when they've been broken (expanded)

				CVs can be gotten out by removing the whole swivel housing assembly, that way not messing up wheel bearing preloads and stuff..
