Most excellent clarification, I can’t imagine trying to separate that in those tight spaces

This should be an interesting trial, then - I've got a Dorman in the back and...whatever CO driveshaft sells in the front. I'll ask them who the manufacturer is, since I didn't see any indications on the box. Both seemed decent.
.......
Colorado Driveshafts told me they're made in Turkey but wouldn't leak the actual manufacturer. FCP, VIDA and a few other sources labelled the front and rear CV joints with different PNs? They are identical on my driveshaft. I replaced both with the high quality CV joints Colorado sold me for $75 each 3 years ago.

I had no luck separating the rear CV joint so I grinded off the haldex and part of the CV joint. Threw on a new Haldex for $300.
