OH NO. Now I read this.
I tried and tried to get the left axle out. Including pulling on the hub end. I could not get anything out. The other axle I got out.
I finally took the axle support brace loose from engine and the whole axle came out. Got the clutch changed and putting everything back.
Now when I go to reconnect the hub, the axle seems about 2" too long. I think I messed up the carrier bearing. I can pull out on the shaft/axle and turn it 1/4 turn and it will go back in. But it doesn't go in any further.
I've got two questions. First, does the axle actually seperate into two pieces? Second, if I seperated the carrier bearing, how can I get it back together?
