I have an 89 CRX and it has a b-16 motor swap in it and i am having trouble getting the axle cups out of the transmission if somebody could jelp me it will be appreciated.( also i have tried a big pry bar and a hammer and still cant get them out so could somebody post an easy way.

 

Sometimes people get a little bit of surface rust or grunge on them and force them in making it hard to get out.

I just use a tapered chizzle and start tapping it all around where the axle meets the tranny.

 

By the way I am taking into account that you already knocked the ball joints loose and you just want to unplug the axles right??

 

If you go get a ball joint seperator from any auto parts store and u widen it by grinding the inside of it by about a 1/4 of an inch on both side it will pry it out i found this to be the easiest way i use the tool every time i need to change axles a couple of wacks with a deadblow hammer and wala its out......

 

this also works sometime, put the shifter in one of the upper gears, sometime it comes loose. dont ask me how but its worked for me before.

 

Hey after math hatch what were you talking about when using the ball joint tool . Like you talking about grinding some of the end off and then driving it in between the axle cup and where it goes behind the motor

 

Bump

 

I think he ment just use a ball joint remover useing the "pointy side"
put it where the axle meets the tranny and pry it off!!
this really isnt rocket science guys

 

use a bigger hammer. i have had one stuck really bad cause the c-clip bent. so nothing was getting it out. until i grabbed the 5pound sludge hammer and gave it a couple good hits with a steel punch and that bitch came rite out. or try using to pry bars at once so it evenly pries it out, and spin it a couple times between tries
