And another note, I'm also having trouble removing the rest of the broken CV axle from the carrier bearing/ intermediate shaft. Any advice for getting that out. Have been reading on the Mazda 6 forum since they have a similar design. They're saying with all the banging and pulling I've been doing I may need to replace the carrier bearing.
I can't even seem to locate one for sale online. I don't have a vise, so removing the rest of it from the vehicle doesn't seem to make any sense for me. I'm assuming it's stuck on the snap ring, and I've tried to go back and forth with it. Hit it a couple times with a sledge, but it's not budging

I'm also still had no luck getting the axle out of the hub. Ended up purchasing a used steering knuckle, since I destroyed my brake dust shield anyway.
In regards to the used knuckle, do I need to change out the wheel bearing, is there an easy way to check the bearing on this new hub? obviously without driving it. Changing the CV boot has turned into a nightmare of a job on this car! Getting a knuckle from California, so hopefully there won't be any rust to contend with lol.

At some point it is worth the investment and the relief from frustration to get a local service shop to disassemble the stubborn parts before you render them unusable. In WA I am sure it is 50 or 75 dollar charge at least here in my area of CA that what I would charge you for a pair of axle disabled. And if you supplied the new parts a "C" note would have them all swapped out and ready to install back into your Mazda.

I'm only trying to reuse what I can. I've ordered a replacement knuckle already, it was used since I couldn't find a new replacement easily. Was just concerned about the wheel bearing is all.
The rest of the axle is stuck to the carrier bearing still on the car, was just wondering if there was a special trick for removing it from the other half of the shaft?

Beating a part and always relying on a puller (broke many of them in the past) does not always work but applied heat and hitting the right place and only enough power to break it free comes from experience.
