how to separate axle from intermediate shaft??

[fastfive0]

Ok I searched and didnt find any conclusive method to doing this. Does anyone have an easy or easier way/method of removing the axle from the intermediate shaft? I'm sure there are people on here who have replaced there drivers front axle before without taking it to a machine shop to have it pressed out. Did you just beat on it till it came out?

The axle is coming out of the steering knuckle or out or the transmision?

i already removed the axle/hub/spindle......my hub was shot but my axle was frozen in it. So i bought a new spindle/axle and hub but i need to get my intermediate shaft off the old axle. So then yes i need to get the part that goes into the trans off the cv/axle.

Hammer or a puller will work.

A press would be easy way but here is a link if you want to hit off, http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/201636-seperate-intermediate-shaft-axle.html

Now what fun would that be?

No swearing, heavy drinking, throwing sh*t. You just took all the fun out of working on cars.

I just held mine in a vise & used a pry bar & it popped right out. Now I did have issues with it not wanting to come out at first, think I had it clamped in the vise with the axle inner CV housing. Then I switched to clamping it on the intermediate shaft bracket & it popped out no problem. I don't know if it was just a fluke & moving the part around positioned the internal snap ring abit different, but once I did this it didn't take much force at all to snap them lose.
