Default axel removal problem.... i have pics

Well, i finally got the new tranny ready to bolt in but now i run into another problem... the axels wont come outta the tranny. i used a small crowbar to try and pry out the axel but it comes out a little bit then stops.... i gave up today cause it started to **** me off after messing with it for hours so now i need help. and yes i took off the axel hub nut from the brake disk. Here are the pics

have one person put a pry-bar on that sucker and have another Jiggle it like a Mo Fo. It should come out has always worked for me. Some are just pretty stubborn. You'll get it.... just a little time.

Do you have plenty of room to move it out? Like is your hub free so you could pull it out?

Just keep at it, just becareful because if you dont pay attention you could bring it lose and itll hit you in the head. Just keep working at it and jiggle too. Also a bigger prybar might help too.

You would know huh?

Yeah, you'll learn that there is a lot of jiggling and shoving and what not when working on any part of the tranny.

did you undo the lower ball joint and moved the spindle out of the way. If not, you will not get the axle out.

A put the axle back in the tranny and with a hammer tap on the other side of the axle were u removed the axle bolt .alright get that end out first because if u had to jack the brake rotor to straighten out the axle .that means the axle.. is still in the hub-rotor-disc brake .......
