Having a real hard time removing the axles, i'm even try to pry off the passanger side and can't seem to get it to budge at all.

Ali

 

Are you trying to remove the axle from the transmission or from the hub?

 

tranny

I was going to leave them in the hub and just support them so they can hang while i drop the tranny to replace the clutch, flywheel and pressure plate.

Ali

 

Hey Ali you know you got Type R friends down here. You can call and it can be down. That is a 2 hour job in and out.

 

I literally called you 10 mintues ago. But i think i spoke to you dad.

I would really appreciate if you can come over and help out. Stop by if you can ill be home all day.

Ali

 

To bad i spend about 4 and stil haven't removed the tranny.

Ali

 

I pry axles out of the tranny with two flat head screwdrivers, prying on opposite sides of the mating surface. The axle will eventually pop right out with this method. The axle can be tapped out of the hub with a rubber hammer, if it won't slide right out on its own.

Good luck.

Thanks, ill give that a try. The only thing is with the hub side where the nut is indented in, im having a hard time getting it to punch out. I try to use a thin flathead but i am afraid of messing up the axle.

Thanks again.

Ali

 

yea man, I use a 12" prybar, stick it in the where the axle meets the trans and give it a good wack with the palm of your hand.

Walker111? Jim, WTH?

Ali, just bring that bish up here. We can pull them out for ya.

Just for curiosity sake, why you pulling the trans? Time for clutch?

 

Yea, replacing the clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, and rear mount.

Ill probably be paying you a visit for the T-Belt.

Ali

 

Oh yea, i did get the passanger side out. Time to work on the driver side

I'm lazy, so I often just unbolt the intermediate shaft with the driver's side axle still connected to it.

 

Thats what i did, and it the intermediate shaft came right out. Was just about to take off the tranny, had to remove the two motor mounts and ended up braking two rachtes leaving me with nothing. And i could even go back to Sears to replace them cause they already closed. So i have to wait till tomorrow.

To not having a full set of tools

Thanks again Reid and everyone else for helping me out. Hopefully everything else will go pretty smoothly.

Ali

 

i was going to post some help, but it looks like you're almost done.
