K series axle stuck inside my GSR tranny help.
alright so long story short.
I have a built gsr turbocharged. stock axles break at the track all the time so never got to run down the track with my car got frustrated but is my fault ok. im aware no need to tell me.
So I decided to buy karcepts 36mm hubs, bought new wheel bearings did the whole thing came out good.
My tuner also a Honda tech tells me to go buy a pair of 02-06 rsx type s 36mm axles so I decided to look for oem ones(since they are stronger) and went to a local jdm warehouse and asked the guy for some type s axles he gives them to me boom gone..
time comes to install axles and drivers side fits ok, a lil too short coming out of the hub so I barely have thread.. passenger side turns out too be too long cant do anything but I installed it (that's how I noticed it was too long), axle went into tranny perfect not hard just smooth but just too long...
My tuner tells me just to go buy the ones fro autozone and call it a day so I do.
Get back home time to take the passenger axle out and it wont come out for nothing.. it has play back and forth but tried everything you could possibly think... I cant take out other axle to stick something long enough to hit out from the other side because of my LSD(theres no passage) tried with pliers from top and bottom with a friend and moving it etc and it wont come out. I don't want to break the housing pulling the thing out smh
anyone has any suggestions? please I don't need any smartasses so if you do not hve anything positive to say just don't write anything. thnks

There should be NO BAR if it's an lsd so that makes it much harder, so are you able to remove the driver side?. If not or if you don't want to risk hitting the bar try a small pry bar there's one are that allows clear access in between the driveshaft and housing. I included a pic just in case I assume there's just a few cm's or room, if needed tap the wedge of the prybar with a mallet. You're not going to damage it by wedging a pry bar in-between just be carful when prying that's it, jack up the car as much as possible too. I've had to deal with extremely tough drive shafts the pry bar and mallet system works from a integra to F250 and plenty of other vehicles.
Thats one gangsta *** C-clip. Using the picture this guy provide, what I would do is put a pry bar there, start pry a little, stop, rotate axle, pry a little bit, stop, rotate axle, repeat. Seriously, that is what I did when i was confronted with a stubborn axle that refuse to be removed.
