I'm attempting to remove my axles. I removed the head to have it sent off to be built along with my 6 bolt block. Currently the car is sitting with the 7 bolt block, tranny, and transfer case, etc. I've been trying to get the drivers side axle out. I've banged on the bearing housing with a rubber mallet, hard plastic mallet, framing hammer, and a 5lb hammer. Nothing. The axle rotates (as much as the tranny allows it to - very little). I had a Honda guy look at it, and he stated that his "just slide right out."

Can anyone help my troubles?
