can someone help me. i had to change my axle because the CV boot riped. as i was removing my axle and it broke apart. i got the axle out but the rear is still stuck in my tranny/intermediate shalf??? i tried prying it out but it wouldnt move at all. is this normal that its stuck there? and are there any techniques on removing the end of this axle. thanks

here are some pics:

 

lol,that's funny
get yourself a big flat tip screwdriver and and stick it between the tranny and outboard or inboard joint i think it's called and it should come out. if you have no big screwdriver get a prybar but you get the idea

 

did you pull on it and break the boot?

nope, the boot was already ripped, so as i was removing the axle. as the axle was coming off some bearings feel out and i couldnt pry out that rear part. any other options i can do to remove that back part. when i push and pull that rear part i can feel it clicking, but it wont come out.

 

that;s the only way for it to come out, ya gotta keep trying at it, it's even in the helms manual be persistent @ it it will pop out and besides you won't hurt nothing, or you can be creative by tying a rope on the inboard shaft and pulling on it.

 

hahah, we tied a rope and that didnt work. i guess well jack the car up higher and try prying the **** out of it tmr. thanks for the help

thanks for the advices everyone

 

did you drain your tranny fluid before attempting to remove the driveshaft. just curious

 

no i didnt. am i suppose to? this is on a 98 automatic accord. could that be the problem?

 

It is going to leak transmission fluid.

 

Alright I'll try to figure out how to do that, will flushing the fluid help? Or is that just another thing I gotta do.

 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!!
What I needed was a little bit of frustration. I wedged a flat head and hammered it between the tranny and the axle. After a few angry swings the piece popped out!
