I've read quite a few posts from searching on this subject. I now have my pass axle out of its bracket and off the car, I'm replacing my cv shaft. I can't seem to figure out how to get the shaft that connects the cv shaft to the transmission off of the old cv shaft. EVERYONE else seems to have theirs magically fixed as soon as they get the cv off the bracket... I basically ripped appart the inner cv boot and took the shaft out from that half, but still can't get it from the inner shaft. Any help is greatly appreciated as we all know sundays are great for long car projects, yeah right!

 

the center bearing has 3 bolts. after you remove them the thing is still rusted on there very soildly. you have to pound the **** out of it. i hate that side with a passion. they are always a bich.

do not pull the halves apart on the new axle, thats a bad idea.

 

i feel your pain man i just got my car out of the shop yesterday after spending all of thursday trying to do it myself. that side is such a pain that the guy i took it too had to call up another shop to come down and help him out. they ended up getting it off with an air chizzel.

 

Thats exactly what i had to do to get it off the bracket. If you don't have acces to one, just use a long flat head with a hammer.

 

Are you talking about getting the axle loose from the car, or separating the sections of the axle?
