I need to remove the half axles so I can tow my motor less car. I have all of the bolts out, but I can't get the outer joints to separate. When I did the transmission ends I used a screwdriver to pry them apart. At the outer end I can't get anything inside the swing arm to do the prying.
I'm very tempted to just use the axle as a slide hammer to pull itself out, but that seems like a bad idea. I'm supposed to have this thing at the shop first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks! |
