#7649, "Help with axle removal"


          

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?

Yeah, don't let Honduh guys help out with DSMs!

Maybe you've already tried this, but you really need to get in there with a large prybar where the axle slides into the tranny.

I will try both. Thank you very much guys. Do you think it's being held up at the tranny or at the axle bearing?

There's a clip on the spline where the axle slides into the tranny, sometimes it's a bitch to break that free. Sometimes it comes out easily.
Did you unbolt the carrier bearing from the block?

I ended up unbolting the bearing housing bracket thing. Came out just fine. Now my problem is getting it through the wishbone thing inside the suspension.
