im replacing the driverside axle...all the necessary bolts&nuts are off...all thats left is the axle needs to be knocked out

- already used my handy dandy BFH (BigFcukingHammer)

...maybe some PB blaster?

im about to head to my shop...maybe i can heat it up with my weld machine

any help will be appreciated

 

Sounds like you need a bigger BFH.

It shouldn't be in there so tight you couldn't tap it out. If you didn't try oiling it, that would be a good idea.

 

You need a nice impact gun. That always does the trick for me.

 

sounds like the locking ring is stuck in there... try spinning the axle around while tapping it out. :goodjob:

 

Try a rubber mallet or use a bolt clamped in a pair of vice grips to hammer on the center. Spray some WD-40 around the edges too.

 

use a air chisle to back it out of the hub and just a big flat head to pop it out of the tranny

 

:doh: I thought you were trying to get the axle nut off duh..

Ya, I just use a screwdriver between the tranny and the axle. There's a little spring washer in there that keeps the axle in there.

I sometimes have to resort to a crow bar, but they come out eventually :naughty:
