I am in the middle of trying to change out the passenger side axle on my 96 LX Accord sedan. This is what I have done. I got the axle nut off, and the ball joint out of the lower arm. I have NOT taken loose the damper fork. I think I have pryed the axle out of the tranny far enough. I can barely touch the smallest piece of the axle. I think I have about a 1.5" to 2" of the axle still in the tranny. I can't pull on the inboard joint of the axle enough to get it out of the tranny!!!! :madfawk: There is nothing I can really brace the prybar against to try to pry it out. Maybe I haven't popped it past that 'clip' but I thought I did. Everything was going pretty well until this.

I need suggestions!!!!!

TIA

 

Have you pulled the axle out of the hub/knuckle assy?

 

You need to pry out the axle from the tranny using a pry bar or a screwdriver. It sounds like you have done everything right, you just have to pull it out

 

i use a ball joint remover-pickle fork looking thing and wedge it between the tranny and inboard and it pops right out. you have the other out the hub so it has room to play right?

yeah, you can definetly use a pry bar between the tranny and axle... it has a little clip on the end of it i think... it should pop right out with a lil assistance... good luck...
