Hi all:

I am trying to replace the passenger side axle on my 2001 Maxima. I have everything apart, including the 3 bolts that are difficult to get to. The trouble is that the axle does not easily slide out, as I have been told it should. In fact, it is extremely difficult to get out. I have pulled, yanked, and pryed it, but it does not budge. Should it be this difficult to remove? Am I over-looking something? Any insight as to how to proceed would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
