Pass. side axle help asap..
Im trying to replace my pass. side drive shaft
i took out the whole axle including the support bracket held in by 3 14mm bolts. I Have the axle laying on the floor and im trying to figure out how to get the drive shaft out, i was told to take a hammer and whack it at the 3.6.9 o'clock position, it split a little, but im trying separate the half shaft from the support bracket. but it wont budge..
Any help guys asap
thanks in advanced

Just FYI ... WD is horrrrrrable and NOT a pentetrating oil (like PB Blaster is) Just so ya know. Not to mention, it would do little to no good on this part.
Ok ... I recall you PMing me on this and I told you how to do it. You must remove the 3 - 12mm bolts that hold the bracket to the axle assby. The drive shaft .... as you call it, IS the axle, axle is the half-shaft, cv shaft, all the same thing. There's not any difference.
You say something split, what split? The bracket? That is not uncommon, and you'll need to replace it if it has cracked. Or, you'll get hella vibrations and ruin your new 1/2 shaft.
