I will try this tmrw, just means I will have to drop the exhaust since it is definitely in the way and is welded all the way back. I want to see this thing out and than save it til I visit a live volcano than throw it in and laugh maniacally.

Post number 10 here has a picture of the tool nonamekid is talking about:
I've also successfully done it with a screwdriver, but I'd like to make a few of those tools sometime. Of course it only works if you can get one side out to start with!~Nate

Oh I hope so, and now I am wishing I had replaced the circlip before I put it back in! It did look in good condition though and popped right in.Comment

Nice, if I get a ride to Autozone tmrw I am going to rent a big slide hammer as well with all the attachments maybe it will have one for my vice grips the little one that I borrowed was limited on attachments.Comment

Jerk and turn, jerk and turn - has worked every time for me. Got to get that circlip inside aligned.
I like the screwdriver trick. First time I've read about it here and there have been lots of discussions about this problem.
Be careful the parts inside the transmission don't drop down inside out of place when both axles are out. When both are gone there's
nothing to hold them in place.

my best luck was getting 2 small chisels and lightly hammer them behind the cups go back and forth between the two and it will pop out.I know its a piece of crap but im still faster...and its 100% legal!!!!!Comment

True problem, but just slide something, a stick, rod anything back in from the stuck axle side as you pull the screwdriver (or driver) back out from the other side, once you get the darn thing out.Originally posted by WmWatt View PostThricetiva replaced Icetiva as the new ride
