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?

 

I'll be doing this soon as well, help plz

 

i've done it on my teg and all you really need is a good hit on the axle....try spraying some sort of lubricant on the spline ..it should pop right through it..

 

Soak the spline with a penetrating lubricant for a couple of days first. Give it a good healty drench in the morning and at night.

Once you've given it some time, use a piece of scrap lumber, natural (structural lumber), not pressed board, MDF or OSB. Grab yourself a sledge hammer and smack the poo out of that sucker.

Although, if you've already started to mushroom the head, you may have a LOT more trouble in store for yourself.

Not to mention that even if you do get it out, a wise auto shop won't take it as a core exchange if the threads are messed up.

The key here is LOTS and LOTS of penetrating lubricant... and patience.
