Hey I am to the point of where I need to get the axles out of the tranny now to almost finish to get ready to lift this bitch out hopefully soon. all i know of how to do, lol, is to remove the cotter pin and the hub nut and speaking of, WONT FUCKING COME OFF! i tried heating it until it was fucking red hot and it wont budge, that bitch is rusted on there. oh well after some more heat and rust breaker, it will come off soon i think. anyway, can anyone give me some step by steps to get these axles out asap please. thanks, any help w/ details will so greatly be appreciated!

thanks

btw, i took off my d/p today from the turbo and are the turbine blades suposed to be white?

thanks again

so wait, you're pulling your tranny? if you're pulling your tranny, then all you need to do is to pop the axle out of the tranny with a crow bar. very easy... see...

oh fucking ass, thats it! i dont have to remove ANYTHING else?! not even that damn hub nut or anything!? i just pop those out with the crow bar and im set to go on both sides.

yes dude that's it, very easy. all you have to do is put the crow bar just as i had it in the picture and bang your fist on it and pop it out, just make darn sure you're on the green part. they acutlly have little notches specifically for popping them out. the axles have alot of flex in them too so it's very easy to get them out of the way. just tie them up to something to keep them out of the way. good luck man, if you need any more help, just im me at ughhhead84. i should be on for a little longer. points maybe? lol

Would be nice to see the pic stay for future refrence for anybody that needs to ask the same ? .....and maybe a write-up to be put in the mods section for anybody wanting to swap axles.Maybe added to ....the topic about ...to pull the tranny with the motor "yes or no"

There is an axle swap page on 2GNT:

If you are just removing the trans, you don't need to go through all the steps. You would just follow what Dino posted below.

In order to do this and be able to move the axles out of the way, be sure to unbolt the lower control arm and trailing arm from the chassis, and remove the bolt the connects the lower control arm to the strut form. This gives you enough play in the suspension to fully disengage the axle from the trans and move it out of the way.
