I used a BFH and beat it off. It took a bit but eventually came off. Figure its been on there about 30 some years.

Let me clarify that a little more, I used a puller to remove the stub axle from the hub and pulled the axle out with the stub attached. Then I beat it off with the BFH. I hope this helps.

stubb in the back stuck to the flange??? yes?? undo castle nut and hit it with a BFH. to pull the flange either drive it out from the back or use a slide hammer witha adpater to the studs or bolt it to the flange and pull it off. |

but just for giggles, what if you have the CV stuck to the flang and you don't want to take off the hub? Just seperate the CV from the wheel side flange? I don't see a way to hit it with the BFH!
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I did hit the partz car with the BFH, but that really didnt help much... |

finally figured out how to take the driver side axle off.
1. point the tranny end (that has been removed) as close to the ground strap as possible. 2. jack under the trailing arm. just let the jack make contact with the trailing arm. 3. remove the nut to the top of the shock/spring assembly (under the trunk) 4. lower the jack/trailing arm. that should give you more room to wrestle off the axle. 5. after you're done with whatever it is you need to do with the axle.. re assemble in reverse order glad i discovered this.. maybe everyone already knew it.. but i feel like i just reinvented the wheel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) pat, pat, pat (on my own back) |

I'm guessing the CVs and Stub Axles are like late 60's 911s... Four bolts and two studs?
When you take the bolts out all the way, get under there and with a hammer & chisel. get the tip of the chisel on the OUTSIDE CASING of the CV joint, then tap away from the hub (if doing hub side) or away from the trans (trans side). This will separate it methinks. At least, this is the procedure i use when they're stuck on there. |
