took me 45 minutes of busting knuckles, swearing, and kicking to remove my passenger side axle a couple of weeks ago. to avoid that again, I would definitely leave it alone.
but that's just me.
then again, it was probably the factory axle, so I wouldn't be too suprised if it comes out easier next time.

also, just tried taking the axle out of my parts car a few days ago, and was having hella issues then, too. fortunately, I didn't care, and just sawzall'd everything in the way for the air chisel to have some fun

 

hi what do i need to remove the cv axels on a vg30 tranny

 

first of all, VG30(E) is an engine, not a transmission
second of all, this has been covered three trillion times before
third of all there's a thing called a "search"
and lastly there is a n00bie thread SPECIFICALLY for people with less than 15 posts
