hi gentlemen! So I am helping myself to a untold amount of abuse, trying to get out this driver side axle.

So far here's what I have tried:

1. Cold Chisel
2. Carpenters Bar
3. Pry Bar
4. Rotary Hammer
5. Torch and Heat
6. Pb Blaster
7. 4lb Hammer
8. More hammer
9. More chisel and hammer
10. 2 chisels wedged while using regular and a rotary hammer
11. Mjolnir

I'm out of ideas, unless I can try to hammer out the axle from the passenger side?!?

I've been at this for 13 hours. I hate this axle. Please help me kill it.

 

An air hammer has always been my solution when axles stick.

 

Tried that. No go.

 

did you solve this? I'm getting ready to do this and would love to be able to avoid this headache.

 

The reason they can be such a pain to get out sometimes is the darn circlip in the groove that holds it into the transmission. I've struggled with a few of them myself, and I've just learned that prybars on 2 sides of the axle with a swift impact motion is generally the most effective. Keep in mind that it's getting that little circlip to compress enough to allow it to release - so try rotating the axle to different positions if the above method still isn't producing results.
