hey i cant get the drive axels out i tried as hard as i could with a pry bar and it still doesnt work how can i get them out thanks

 

Try spraying some penetrating lube in there. Have you tried gently prying from both sides? If that doesn't work you can push in on the axle and trying a quick pull to get it out. Sometimes the axle will pop out of the cv and you will have to remove the boot, then the cv, and put it back together. Once you have it out coat the splines with never seize before putting the axle back in the diff.

 

Slide hammer.

 

yes ive tried prying it as hard as i can i cant even get it of a little bit

 

I agree! It takes some hard quick jerks though. You can get a slide hammer from autozone etc......just pay a deposit return it get your deposit back. Anti-seize is a must on the splines when re-installing.

 

I just did mine with in on the tranny.......was not too bad just make sure the clip holding the axle on is at the top position ,easy to remove.

I can't see how you can attach a slide hammer anywhere?

 

Slide hammer can go on a couple different ways. You can pull the diff side cv boot back and wrangle it on to the boot clamp recess on the cv or put the castle nut back on the end of the axle and pull from there.

 

I had two pry bars on mine and no luck(large ones from work) there will not be enough grip to attach it just to the in-dent for the boots ..IMO..

And I did try pulling from the axle end and the spline just pulled out of the ball bearning housing where the internal snap ring holds on to the shaft,thus loose inside of the rubber boot, Then I just took off the boot clamp and the axle came off.

Lucky I did not need to remove the piece from the transmission,I just needed to change the damaged boot.
...Caper.......

 

I just went through this, the stub axles were absolutely frozen into the rear gear housing. I tried pry bars (after I pulled the inner CV joints apart). A can of penetrating spray. I tried wrapping a steel cable around it to get a grip on it. I ended up actually busting one half of the gear housing, after a couple days of frustration.

If I were to do it again, I'd by hook or crook get a secure attachment to the stub axle (weld a nut on, drill and tap a hole, anything). I'd then use a slide hammer. Or, I'd attach a length of chain and play crack the whip. I hope I'm describing this so that one can understand - leave some slack in the chain, lift it in the air and quickly move my arms up and down to make 'waves' in the chain - when the 'wave' hits the end of the chain, it generates a high energy jerk, quite like a slide hammer.

This was a very difficult job, but my new axles are in, after a liberal coating of never sieze.

Now, had the stub axles come out as they are designed to do, it would have been very easy. It's just the freakin' corrosion that effectively froze them in that made it hard.

 

Never did get mine out from the tranny either.........did the job without removing.................2600 miles on the wife's Quad and it's TIGHT in there........Caper..............
