Repost adding image

 

is it seized on the splines??

 

I don't think so I've been trying to get it with the pry bar but no luck the drivers side wAsnt this hard!!

 

Anyone?

 

good luck. sometimes it may take a hit or 2 with a hammer to loosen the rust

 

When i done mine as paperboy just said i wacked it with a hammer while i had my brother prying on it and she poped out, before hand i sprayed liquid wrench all over the end with the splines.
hope this helps keep us posted.

 

the passenger side axle is pretty hard to get out especially with the car on jacks. I ended up having a shop do it.

 

i wonder if he got the car back together to be on the road this morning

 

Move it back and forth to slide it out.

 

Fast forward to 7:00

Hope you see this before you do any damage!

 

^passenger axle goes into an intermediate shaft.

The passenger axle has a "female" end and a "male" end that goes into the hub. It's not like the video.

 

Shit my bad. Will be doing this soon too. Thanks for the heads up!

 

When I did mine I replaced the intermediate shaft, I went through the same thing though.

I had to pry from the bottom to get it out, looks like you bent up the intermediate shaft heat shield trying to pop it out.

The intermediate shaft has a male end that goes into your passenger's side inner CV joint.

I used a cheap craftsman prybar to get mine out. Once it moves some I set the pry bar against the old inner CV joint and hammered on the end of it to get it to slip off.

You really need the angled prybar to be able to get the leverage to get it out.

I'm assuming you've already got the passenger side spindle nut off, lower ball-joint popped and the knuckle removed from the axle.

You should also grease the splines on the intermediate shaft before installing the new axle, every like 3rd spline shouldn't have grease on it though, per the SM so the inner CV joint can breathe.

Your intermediate shaft looks different from mine though, what year is yours?

Here's a pic of my old intermediate shaft and the pry bar I used.

To be honest it looks like the shaft has moved forward inside of the bearing, there was a circlip holding it in on the outboard end of the bearing. I'll bet the other end of it came out of your trans.

 

Disregard, it looks fine lol .. thats just the end of the inner cv joint.

 

Sorry for posting 3x lol..

Something like this should do it..

Careful for that rubber seal don't want to damage it.
