Think he's suggesting a large persuader (hammer).

What did you do with the joint? -If it was disassembled, but then not reassembled correctly, it won't flex and won't extend as it should.

i only just took it off on the transmission, then hung it so it would not get dirt in it or damage. can the connection point at the trans be moved around? and where would i used a FBH anyway?

Since you have an auto I assume you left it in "Park", but still there can be some play in the gearbox/diff so the mounts on the diff can turn a little. Try turning it, or even better turn the opposite wheel if it is attached and mounted.

What was the reason for taking off the shafts? lowering the gearbox?

Pop a long punch or screwdriver through the CV bolt hole and into the flange on the tranny (or axle) and work the joint back and forth until you can line it up.

Robert, at that point, is your mother's sibling.

Assuming the car's jacked up so you can spin the wheel.
