question during clutch install

[eagletalonesi84]

Ok i'm installing a new clutch and i'm in the process of getting the tranny out. How do u get the axels out of the tranny. Keep in mind i'm doing this on my garage floor so space is tight. Also if you have any other tips that would be great too.

I've been there twice, so listen up. You need to pry the axles out of there. First, make sure that the suspension parts connected to them are unbolted; this makes it MUCH easier. This includes the tie rod end, stabilizer link, damper fork, lower & lateral lower ball joint. This will loosen up the axle greatly. Now use a pry bar, or similar, to gently pry the axles away form the transaxle case; be careful not to reach too far inside - you may break the oil seal. Once the axle is out, tie it off or set it on top of something; don't leave it hanging, which will put stress on the joints and can damage them.

As for additional tips, refer to this thread:
