Im doing my clutch and my pass side axle is rusted stuck to the support bracket for the axle, anyone have any ideas about how to get it out?

Thanks,
Alex

 

the red wrench

 

K well i got the axle bracket to rotate by hitting it with a hammer, but still no luck on getting it out. Is there a specific place you guys recommend to pry or pull from?

 

I usually cut them rusty bolts out with a hack saw or a grinder. Then take a hammer and screw driver and knock it out.

 

This is how i removed both my maxima passenger side axles..

 

ok but where are you hitting from? i just dont want to break anything

 

You have to remove the d-side axle,then take a long instrument of some type(large screw driver/end of a breaker bar/etc.) Hit the end of the passenger side axle through the hole on the d-side axle side of the transmission..

you can torch it or there is this suff called kroil it can be a bit hard to find but this stuff is like liquid gold i have take off exhaust bolts and studs with the stuff even when they looked like they would break . this is the web site for it.

+1 to above about lubing up the support housing area.but i recommend pb blaster for the job.

 

it is alot more availble everywhere than the Kroil

 

Thanks for the help, GOT THAT B*TCH OUT!!!!!!

 

Haha, nice. I remember those days. My car is from Pennsylvania and is rusty as **** underneath. I swear it took me 3 days of constant pounding and prodding to get the original passenger side axle out. I never wanted to give up on a car so badly and just throw it down a cliff as I did then.

 

Tis' true. It took me a LONG time to get that axle out. I had to hit that thing COUNTLESS times to get it out. Now make sure you take a wire-brush to it, and never-seize that inside surface before you install the passenger side axle again. Not that you'd ever have to get in there again...but just in case, you don't want to go through an ordeal like that again.

 

Thanks for the advice, will do...
