i got a b18c eg and i was wondering do i remove the shaft from the intermediate shaft, or just remove the intermediate shaft?
thanks

 

remove the axle from the intermediate shaft, theres no need to remove the intermediate shaft, rarely ever

 

ok
how do i remove the axle?
there is no gap to insert a pry bar?

 

Pry or tap the end of the axle with a hammer. Do what's necessary!

 

ok heres the easiest way. take the whole intermediate shaft off with the axle. now get a bar and lie it flat in between the half shaft and the intermediate shaft. make sure the bar does fit in between rather almost but not just quite. now tap it with a hammer once and its out.

 

No No No, You call that the Easiest way?? theres No need to take the intermediate shaft off whatsoever, the axle should pop out of the intermediate shaft relatively easy with the assistance of a prybar, do that, its your easiest method..trust me

 

If you're dropping the tranny, I'd suggest taking off the shaft to prevent the tranny from getting hung on it.

Just a precaution, because I broke my ITR LSD being hung up on the midshaft..

 

If you just want to remove the axle, once the axle is free of the hub, use a hammer and a brass drift to pop the axle off of the intermediate shaft. Place the brass drift on the inner c.v. joint along the outer rim.

 

Get some leverage and pry in-between the inner joint and the i-shaft. Once it pops out an inch or 2 it will pull out easily.

 

ok i tried hitting it with a hammer
but i couldnt seem to get the whole head of the hammer 2 make contact, still no budge,i tired using a pry bar but there is no gap to insert it into
should i just keep hitting with hammer?

 

prybar buddy!!!!worked for me good luck

 

Do what b19coupe said and use a brass drift as an aid... I know you most likely don't own one so don't bother going out and buying one. If you need to take off the intermediate shaft to get off the axle, DO SO. It's not that hard to get that off and back on.
