Well i dont really understand you that much but the axle will seperate inside that boot. It should have seperation movement.... But maybe thats not what your looking for???

Ok well you need to pop the axle out of the diff... I didn't see the pics before^^^... I use a little crowbar but be careful because there is a seal that is in there....

i just post some pics and how do i finish the process of taking the axle off thanks

Ok where the green peice enters the diff, you will need to get in there with something to use as a prybar to seperate the two... Like i said be careful and dont go nuts... I used a wood chisel and just gave it a little pop and it will seperate and once it is seperated it will pop right out.

You will leak out fluid and i guess you should replace the axle seals... If you are careful and dont damage them you can reuse them but i suggest getting new ones. They are cheap.

ok thanks for the info but axle its not bad in the inside right, cause the rod it was slipping out of the boot i just want to make sure i don't do anything to mess the axle thanks again.

Well you can take that boot off(you might beable to but if its stock then you might not) and see if everything it ok. It is filled with grease and if you do take it off you must repack it with some grease. It is hard for me to tell since im not holding it but it should be fine... Once you get it out and if you can make it straight and it turns as one peice then I am pretty sure it is good.

Slow down when your typing ... Your missing vital words that would help me understand more...

thanks i just took the axle out with no problems(looks good the splines in the inside look like new). Now my concern it when it came out there was no oil coming out so its my differential gone or when i put the axle back in fill it and see what happens; the car was working good besides the wheel bearing and i lunched like a week ago with no problem so i know the rear was working.

drain all the fluid out of the rear, and put new in... redline MT90 i believe

i know but its kinda weird the when i took the axle off no oil came out, but the car before that worked good (besides wheel bearing), no weird sounds from the rear it turns ans reverses good too so i think the diff is still good and im lucky to catch it now with no gear oil?

just to reassure yourself, take it apart and see if there's any damage(broken teeth, etc.)
