Picture is of open circlip. I read to open it with a 8mm drift, so I did. I can have it open even more as it doesn't close anymore so it can be pushed open a bit more by wifewith a pick while I hammer away. Joint still does not come off with hammer taps on bronze drift even when circlip is help open a little wider. I'm hoping to replace the boots before they fail. This car has manual trans. I'm out of ideas. Bigger vise, stronger wacks . The 23 year old boot hasn't failed yet, it would be terrible to admit defeat and just put it back into the car.
