removing axles?

[JayL]

Hey, i am removing the engine out of my del sol, its an LS.

i have pulled many motors, but always have trouble getting the axles out of the tranny housing, and the half shaft.

i wanted to hear what you guys did when they got stuck, and it just didnt seem like a pry bar would get them out.

pry bar should get em out easy..

I got a special tool !!!

first I atleast fight with a pry bar an a hammer to get the driveside out that is the easiest one!!

which I can take it out the hub and then take a hammer an tap it off the halfshaft, once its out unbolt the half shaft and it comes out easy!

when the driverside is out I take my tool and slide it into the tranny then hit it with a hammer knocking the axle out...and I am done

Grab that bish and pull, put some back into it!

Sure! Nothing like pulling the knuckle apart when you have to put that axle back in.

haha, lol... thats what she said.

- thanks for the help guys, the easiest way was to pry bar the driver side, then knock out the passenger side by unbolting the mid/half shaft.


edit: even though you cant see them... +reps to everyone in this thread

[JayL]

yep, she doesnt like it when her Perineum tears. (aka- when you rip your cv boots) ha!
