i am removing my axel and i know you are suppose to be able to just "pry this part off, but i cant get it. Where should i be trying to pry it and what do you guys use to do it. is there a reason why it would be stuck?

thanks for the help

 

just grab the axle and give it a good tug...should pop right out.

 

and pull apart the joint which would force you to disassemble and reassemble the joint.
But since there is no axle there, it probably wont matter.


Instead, hit the axle with a hammer to push it off the intermediate shaft.

daym thats a greasy little bastard, You can try to pry it off with a big screwdriver or a pry bar.

 

i tried with a pry bar and it wont come out, is there sometihng i could spray on it or other ways to get it out when it is this stuck?

 

if you want get a socket big enough to fit in there and hammer it with the round end against the gap ive done that many times and works everytime. use a bigger hammer not just a regular one

 

that didnt get it off, should i try spraying somethig like liquid wrentch, or are there any other ideas.... god this is pissing me off!

 

get the torch out.lol Did you take the balljoint off?

 

getting it out from the trans is what u gotta do... stick a pry bar where u can put it and just pry it outa the trans.. works everytime, just need to put a little elbow grease(damn that sounded cheesy) on it

 

so you saying i should take the whole drive shaft out of the tranny? because on the driveer side the axel goes to another shaft then to the tranny

 

 

i got it off now the new one wont go back on, are you suppose to always replace that stoper ring because i think that is wat is stoping it from going back on

 

hahhahahahahahhahahha Good job

 

i have finished putting the axel in, now i need to put 2 quarts of tranny fluid in, im wondering what you guys use to put in the fluid, do you use some kind of pump?

 

i run a 3 foot garden hose with a funnel in the top down to the fill hole and pour from above hte engine...

make sure hte car is level when you are doing hte refill...

HTH,

t..

 

howd u finally get it off...
