I have disconnected the trans side when I dropped the engine. Now I want to take the axle off to inspect the CV joints.
I have removed the 4 bolts from the hub side but the unit is still fighting me to come out. I did see the pins holding the other side in and figured it just took some force. After running out of force, I checked the Haynes manual and it seems to say I need to take off the large central nut and cotter pin on the other side. Before I go this route, any advice? Thanks.

Thanks!!
This forum is amazing. Next question. If I try and turn the nut, do I clamp the axle from turning or can I run a screwdriver through holes on the outer plate ie does this plate move with the nut? Yes , I am that new at this thanks again |

You can also get a flat bar, drill a couple holes in it and rest one end on the ground. Whatever you do, be carefull with the brake lines etc in the back. You can pinch them if your not carefull. My very crude sketch. Attached image(s)
