I'm currently in the process of replacing the clutch but I also want to replace my axles(they have ripped boots and are on their way out). Here are a few problems I have run into:
1. The axle spindle is ready to be removed from the brake disc hub but it wont come out. Ive read chiltons and c-speed and they both say hammer it out but it is not budging... im even hitting it so hard the spindle is starting to mushroom. Ive also tried prying the axle out from the back side of the rotor using screwdrivers but its not helping... anyone have a tip on how to get it out?

2. Ive tried prying the axle out from the halfshaft on the driver side by wedging a 2ft pipe between the axle and halfshaft... it is not coming out. Any tips on getting them apart?

3. What is a good way and tool to pry the passenger axle out of the transmission?
