Ok, a couple of my friends and I are putting a JDM H22 in my 5th Gen. When it came time to remove the axles we got stumped. The driver side axle and ext. came out just dandy but the passenger side axle is being GAY! We can't get it to pop out. We have tried everything, from a wrench and hammer, to a crow bar, to a lever and a air chissel, AND a few at the same time. I don't know what else I can do...somebody please tell me there is a button that says "push here to remove" I welcome any Ideas...thanks

 

Remove the inner bushings from the CV joint. So that only the CV joint housing is left in the tranny.

You are then going to have to wiggle it out.

There is a ring on the end of the spleen part that locks it in. If its a bitch to get out, replace it cause its no good.

 

if u have enough room on the other side you can take 2 small screwdrivers or picks and a small hammer and work it out. look in there and ull see the snap ring.

have u tried prying on the axle and tapping the joint with a hammer? sometimes u can pop them.
