Default Y8 axle stuck.....

Well i'm swapping my tranny because its stuck in 2nd gear. Well i'm TRYING to remove the axles from the transmission and they WONT move an inch... Is it because its stuck in gear or am I just being a little bitch in removing them.....

Thanks for the help.

You need to get yourself the correct tools, or jack your car up some more so you have some more space to work with.
It also helps to have a 2nd hand helping, someone pulling outwards on the axle, as you pry it out. Axles dont go in our out easy, so you cant go easy on them, you gotta manhandle em'.

Great way to also dislocate the CV ball joints

Agreed.... Well turns out a pry bar and some muscle do a great job, the only reason why I asked was because last time I removed the axles they slid out like butter.

thanks though!
