Removing Axle

[UnderOath]

I cant get it out of the transmission. I put a pry bar between it and pulled as hard as I could, over and over. Even had my 300 pound friend do it to. We cant seem to get it out. Any suggestions??

you more or less need to like push it forward in one motion. I try to put it between the axle and trans and put leverage on it and might wouldn't come out either. but then when i put it between rested the bar against the tranny or toward it and yanked it hard it just popped out.

spray some penetrant in there (pb blaster) and let it sit for a day. I have had good luck having one person pry at one side of the axle and yourself on the other. This should be enough to knock it out of it's rust prison. Another method is to try to loosen it up by tapping it with a hammer.

Left, right, up, and in several times, then pry, and repeat as necessary.

Use two long flathead screw drivers. Just took mine out. the Reason it wont come out is your putting pressure on the one place, use two screwdrivers at the same time in different places and it pops out extremely easy.

PB blaster, then a screwdriver and just push. and make sure the fluid is drained. good luck

Biggest thing when working on cars is to be patien. Try to use quick motions and only put the pry bar between the differtional and axle. Give quick prys and have someone lightly pulling on the other end. Becareful of the cv jionts pulling apart thou. Also are you on the passenger side or Driver side driveshaft, make sure if your on the Driver side make sure you pulled the two bolts that attach it the the engine block ( this is there to stop torque steer) should be a 14mm bolt head . good luck.
