  • CV axles :(

    i switched em out, forgot to change the oil seals, it started leaking, and now the new axles wont come out.
    it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

    OK and your question would be?

          Try dynamite. I GUARANTEE it'll get that axle out.

          Don't have any? Then try using two pry bars. Wedge one in between the axle and the trans and use the other to pry it out. Works way better than one for stubborn axles.

            Slid Hammer would work well.

            But have never had to resort to that, just a good strong tug on the free end of the axle.

                festiva fan has the right idea, take 2 pry bars and put the tips together with the handles away from eachother /\ like that. then place the tip between the trans and axle and bring the handles together like a scissor so that the tips spread apart. they'll pop out.

                  i just took the axles out of mine an hour ago. Used a prybar, and unbolted the front shock, and the swingarm from the unibody that way you can move the hub freely and get it farther from the transaxle. It made it a lot easier to get them out.
