How do you pry the axle out of the trans-axle?

Answer:

Answer

two methods; one: disconnect the lower ball joint from the wishbone so the entire strut can pivot forward, put your wheel on and give it a swift jerk. two: use a large pry bar and pry against the inside c/v joint and the transmission body. the stub shaft has a small spring ring which needs to collapse in it's groove in order for it to come out. when re-installing it, make sure the stub shaft goes all the way in so the spring ring can expand and home the shaft in place. a word of caution: on some transaxles if you pull both shafts, the carrier could drop so do one shaft at a time or use a tight fitting round stick to hold everything so you can stab the shafts back in without having to fish around for alignment.
