That makes it more compelling to do it from the inner drive end by removing the tripod bearing using a gear puller. Separating the drive shaft ftom the hub is more difficult on a 9000 than a c900. You use the same cheater bar to loosen a 32 mm nut on the axle. But you need to pound the axle in to loosen it from the hub. I had the drive shaft removed to pull the tripod bearing. But it can be done with the drive shaft in car.
