Can anyone tell me how to remove th axle from the half shaft....i tried for like a half hour or so trying to get to come loose but no luck...and also in the second pic is a half shaft from a LS integ on the buttom and the half shaft that came of my car on top....can anyone tell me what half shaft this is off of? i was thinking of using the LS shaft so i know what axles to get.



thanks

Mike

 

ANyone?

 

The shaft that came with my friend's swap gave me hell..
We never did get it to come apart and ended up finding another.
[I think it was in an accident on that side..]

I tried using a "come-along" type winch and busted the cable..
I hooked it to a pole in the parking lot and tried jerking it with a forklift..
The pole moved,but the shaft/axle never came apart..

 

there are marking on the halfshaft.

And use a pry bar. It should pop out easy

 

dude this happened to me. Its rusted in there. I got lucky and there was a axle rebuilder nearby.
First he put some grease(same as the CV boot grease) in/around the area where the axle goes in the halfshaft. He clamped the half shaft tight as **** with a big table top vise, then used a pointy hammer type thing and just started banging with a big hammer. FINALLY it came out.
When i put it all back in i sprayed alot of wd-40 in the halfshaft and then filled it up with the CV grease hah.
Man i got so pissed at that ****......

 

lol yea im getting pissed at this piece of steel called the half (gives me more headaches then my g/f) Shaft, and ill see if i can take it to a shop and have them remove it....gotta do this **** before christmas all my cousins with there tite *** cars are coming over and i dont want my car on jack stands while they are here cuz they will talk ****...lol ********

 

get a hammer and hit it, it should only take like 3 hits.

 

bottom half shaft looks like its from a 90-93, and the other looks like its from a 94+.

 

ill try tomorrow see if it works

 

Same thing happend to me, luckily I had a spare laying around.

Anyone tried torching it? Thats on my list of to do's, might work?

Actually that works for me too. But I have pried it with either a chisel or a thick flat tip screwdriver.

 

no luck so far....ive took alittle break from this nightmare... also, the shalf that still has the axle in it..someone said its from a 94+ integ....is this true cuz i need to know what axle to get at autozone...thanks

 

Ok i FINALLY got this **** out after an hour of pounding the **** out of it BUT i think something bad happened.....correct me if im wrong but isnt the axle supposed to go INTO the shaft not the shaft going into the axle?

 

yup the axle supposed to poke it like a man!

 

i went and pounded out the end part of the axle from the 90 integ shaft...and that came out like it should so thats a relief now i can use that shaft...and get my car back on the road!! thanks for ur help everyone

 

well it looks like its supposed to do that?? weird, mine was the opposite. I had a female halfshaft

 

or my half shaft just had a sex change...

 

they change between years

i also had a female halfshaft, well, i had both, but needed the female one for the axles i got

 

I believe pre-94 intermediate shafts came with the female input and 94+ came with the male end.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. But the female intermediate shaft is normally found on the 1st gen B16 and DA Tegs.

 

good to know
