Replying to: jbird91372 (Apr 02, 2007 3:11 pm) I currently have a 2000 Blazer torn apart. Trying to replace the driver's side CV shaft but can't get it to release. Three of us worked on it for 6 hours(one a retired auto mechanic). He said he has never seen a shaft that difficult to remove. We are all baffled as to what to try next. The pry bar solution you suggested did not work. We have tried pry bars, driving two chisels up either side between the cv housing and case and finally gave up and tried using a large slide hammer while simulaneously prying on it. Nothing will pop it loose. We did try taking the cover off but there is no way to get inside to remove the clip. You'd have thought the idiots at GM would have used a round snap ring instead of a squre shouldered one! It would have made life a lot easier! Any other suggestions? HELP!
#10 of 12 2001 Blazer dash lights gone crazy..won't start by traiford Feb 26, 2008 (5:07 pm)
Just bought a 2001 Blazer from my boss. Stopped at store , then it wouldn't start. Finally got it jumped and as I was driving the dash lights and guages were going crazy. Every dash lights turning on, flashing, fuel, speedo, and tach would drop out and then come back . Took it to Autozone and they said alt. diodes were bad. Put on new alternator ...same thing. At idle everthing seems fine. Once I accelerate the dash goes crazy. Here is the really stange thing...I put it in drive...stand on brake and rev the engine to 2K rpms and no problems...its only when it accelerates with movement. FYI the battery still won't charge.   Please HELP!! Replies to this message: jmoz83 (Apr 30, 2008 3:34 am) jlflemmons (Apr 30, 2008 10:52 am)
