I'm trying and trying, but I can't seem to get the axle out from the driver side of my 97 LS. I got the passenger side easy, but I cant pop out this side. I cant just pull on it cause the inner bearing and joints came out. So all I got left is the inner part. Is there a trick to getting it out? That intermediate shaft doesnt give me any leverage points.

help!! thanks!

I had the same problem.. try using a crowbar (the flat-head side) and a hammer to tap it loose. Worked for me.

gl getting those back in...its a real PITA, took me forever...they have to go in EXACTLY right :/ (i assume youre talking about the half shaft that came apart)
