I beat on it, use screw driver to pry it offand I cursed the world to no avail. Any idea how I can get the right axle off in short of cutting it out? I already removed the left one without a problem so I know what I am doing in terms of which bolts to remove and the fork arm is off from the lower arm.

 

Sorry about the aggravation.

Maybe you could use a larger flathead screwdriver or possibly even a small pry bar to provide more leverage.

It might also help to pry the inboard joint from multiple different rotated positions to coax the set ring to disengage from the transmission.

 

The strangest thing happen. After creating this post, I went back to the car with a heavy duty crow bar but when I looked, it came out all by itself. Whew, whatever happen, thanks.

 

man i had SIMILAR PROBLEM with my 94 passenger axle. LMFAO

i went thru HELL trying to get the motor/tranny out cause the axles WOULD NOT come out of the tranny! took LOTS of twisting and prying with nothing working....

and all asudden the one poped out with some prying and the other one preaty much jsut fell out after spending quite a bit of time on it.LOL

 

I had to use a 3 foot prybar once... [8D]

 

ya WHO WOULD THINK that the TINY piece of metal on the end of the axle could hold it in the tranny so firm.....

i personaly dont see how... but it can.LMFAO
