I tried to chage my passenger drive axle on a 98 maxima. I almost got it but i was not able to pull it out from the transmission no matter how hard i pulled on it. Is there a way i can do it?
thx

 

You have to unbolt it from the carrier bearing.
There are 3 bolts on it, once you get them out pry the axle out of the bearing, the rest is simple.

 

i did unbolt the 3 bolts but still couldn't get it out. I don't know where to leverage it from. THere is almost no room. Where is the best place to pry it from, what would you use to pry it.

 

use a sharp chisel and slowly pry on the axle bearing bracket, spary some PB blaster on it and give it few minutes to penetrate, the axle might be seized up in the bearing bracket and that is why it is hard to get it out, once you free the axle from the bracket , just pull on it and it should come out of the tranny, there is no C-clip holding it in , ( driver side has C-clip)

hope this will help

thanx for the help. i read your reply after i replaced the axle but I did it the way you explained it though. I guess great minds think alike.
