DIY:Subaru Forester CV Boot Replacement

1.Removal of CV shaft:
1.1Remove CV nut: Use 32 mm socket.
1.2Remove lower ball joint: You may use pickle fork to apply leverage between spindle and the ball joint. Also ball joint puller may be used . Some people apply some grease to the fork not to break ball joint plastic boot. [!] I did not need any fork or puller. Removed 14mm pin, made a moment arm with two socket expansions and apllied moment between the spindle and the ball joint [See Collage[3]].
1.3Break free the axle from the spindle.

Inline defined function in OCTAVE works faster! (Was slower in MATLAB)

Previous example in MATLAB was concluded the Inline defined function was working slower than the same function defined in a ".m" file .

But if you try the same example in GNU Octave 3.2.2 you'll surprisingly see that inline defined function in Octave works faster.

On the other hand, it was not the aim of the work but Octave works faster than MATLAB for this case.
