Driver's side axle seems stuck
Driver's side axle seems stuck
Any tips on getting the axle out of the trans? Put a pry bar behind to try to pop it out.
Yes it's out of the spindle side . With the passenger side out anyway to tap on the driver's axle through the trans?

I would NOT recommend trying to tap 'through' the transmission. The first time I removed the driver's side axle I was briefly stumped, but it eventually came out. I used a carpenter's pry bar; you want to get something as far in as possible. The axle is being held in place by a circle on the splined shaft that enters the transmission. Just a friction fit. It will come out eventually.
I had a pry bar on it. But will give another try, I know it just snaps in. Maybe I just don't have it deep enough behind. I didn't want to damage the seal on the trans to much.
thanks for the video as well . Kinda what I was trying to do.
