49823, One axle out other stuck help
Posted by 95 silver gs, Apr-25-03 02:25 PM
The passanger side axle is un budgable. I have pryed, hit the prybar with a sledge hammer. And i have tryed from the top side of the motor. The drivers side poped out no prob but passenger sigle axle is not coming out.

Spray it down with PB blaster (rust remover) wait 20 minutes then try again. That got my driver's side one out after nothing else would.

You're talking about removing it from the trans, right?

It helps if you have someone pulling on the suspension to give slack in the CVs before you start wailing on the inner axle cup - otherwise you're just compressing the CVs and trying to move the suspension with the prybar..

Try a bigger prybar, too. More leverage. Thise snaprings on the axles are a biatch.

Axles like to be popped out, not pryed out. Give it a sudden big burst of force out ward with pry bar, and it will come out.

Thanks for the info i spreyed it with wd 40 and i went at it from the top but it came out. I used a sledge hammer ended up bending the pry bar tho. But it is out and the motor will be soon. Thanks
