    UPDATE

    I finally got the axle out... I "dismantled":laughing6: the transmission with a hammer, chisel and air tools. Picked up a replacement transmission on Friday afternoon. Wasn't able to work on it on Saturday but had it back on its wheels and running on Sunday afternoon. Had to get it out so that I could get my core charge back and a refund on the axle as it was under warranty.

    Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions, I pretty much tried them all. What I discovered is that the clip on the end of the axle wasn't collapsing at all :cwm21:. There's a bunch of lovely imprints of the splines on the sides of the clip.

    It was an interesting week having a large family and down to one vehicle!
