Ive been running an OBX LSD for quite a while and the fact that the axle was stuck was not a problem. We were able to work around it until now.

But now we need to take appart the tranny to change the bearings so I need to take the axle out.

How did you guys manage to do it?

I would just like a few tricks to take out the axle.... if thats even possible. lol

Maxime,

 

A maul and a pry bar. Oh yeah.... sweat and tears too

 

pull out the drivers side axle and half shaft and take a long thin punch through the hole of the diff and start hammering.

 

Yes if you can get one of the axles out you can put a 3/8" extension into the diff and pound the other side out.

 

Thanks we'll try that.

Any other suggestions?

Maxime,

 

A pry bar snugged between the tranny and axle and I mean a BIG pry bar a good 2+ feet long worked for us

Those ******* get STUCK

 

I ground down a cheap *** 3/8 extension and used a sledgehammer. broke the splines off the end of the axle but didnt harm the diff. I then dissassembled it and chamfered the gear so it wouldnt happen again.

 

Wait... I can modify the diff. so the axle wont get stuck again???

Tell me more. :D

the newer obx's dont have that problem. i bought mine close to a year ago and have had the axles out a few times and not a single issue.

New OBXs are chamfered on both sides, no more axle sticking.

You have to beveal the driver side of the diff. Mike belben did that to mine and no more axle problems
