So i have everything off that needs to come out to give me room to pull the axles. I got the passenger side off now i am trying to get the drivers side out and its not moving idk why, this is an SH. It should just come out correct after u put alittle force behind with like a crossbar and pry on it mildly behind the innner cv boot..shouldnt it ??

 

it might be frozen in there, try to spray some pb blaster or wd40. if all else fails. you would need a puller.

i. e. this one.

Is it stuck on the hub/rotor or in the tranny? If its in the tranny then get someone to pry while you jerk and have another person tap the axle with a hammer.. make sure to use tons of pb blaster.. it took up about a hour to get mine out.

 

ya dont give up lol if ur car is on a hoist use like a breaker bar or something if not then jack it up as high and use one on sort of an angle it'll come off

Its stuck in the atts unit which is on the drivers side. And there is no room to get a hammer in there really just enough for a pry bar and i dont want to destory anything on the axle or anything.

 

I just pryed at it, pulled at it for 2 hours and it wont move. I have no idea why this thing will come out.

 

u have to jack the car up higher and get like a chisel and tap to pry it away from the atts unit

 

i have done this today i used a 3 foot lever bar came out like butter. try levering with 2 pry bars sometimes these things need to come out straight good luck mate.

 

between the subframe and that part of the atts unit that warps around it so idk how you can hammer at it. unless maybe you go from an angle but that seems like the angle will be so much that u wont actually be able to hit the axle away from the atts unit.

 

i tried the hammer didnt really move it much at all. Any ideas ?

 

Where were you hammering? The manual says to separate it at the bearing support by lightly tapping with a plastic hammer

 

i used a pickle fork (used for separating ball joints) and tapped it between the axle and the trans case since its shaped like a wedge...this method is a last resort though, theres a chance you could crack the trans case

Yes thats what it says in mine too but idk who wrote that but there is no way to directly hit the axle with a hammer.

Did u just pry with the pickle fork ?

 

no i didnt pry with the pickle fork, i hammered the wedge shaped end between the tranny and the axle end...and the wedging action forced them apart. but like i said, you should only use this as a last resort cuz you could crack the trans case. at work we use an air hammer and chisel to beat it out

 

I got mine out today in 30 seconds. Just find a piece of metal pipe and fit it in between the atts unit and the end of the shaft. then hammer lightly on the end sticking out using the pipe like a pry bar. It popped out instantly.

 

i pulled mine out by using a dead blow hammer on a steel bar angled in there, if you have the car up high enough you should be able to get a pretty good swing on it, get the bar as close as you can to being straight in line with the cv axle and nail it with the dead blow hammer it worked out really good, once it is past that little clip it will slide right out.

 

reviving this old thread...........

the same problem with my lude stupid axle is stuck inside the atts unit and it wont budge! The car is now at a second shop since the first place i took it could not remove it

 

something like this might help

use this with a slide hammer.

 

I just went through this a few weeks back myself. Stick a screw driver or pry bar in there and <U>pound</U> on it when a mallet.

 

yea i gave up so the lude now sits at Profunction hopefully they can get it out! im curious to know what the problem is though

 

you have to jiggle the inboard joint while hitting it with a hammer. the little c clips get wedged pretty badly if they are reused.
