Half Shaft Removal


Recommended Posts

How do you guys remove the left side half shaft from the transaxle? I've tried prying on it with a screw driver and an old tire iron with no luck. I've also tried locating a half shaft removal tool with no luck. Thanks for the help.

tie rod and balljoint disconnected. the sway bar bushing off the control arm and a pry bar or crow bar between the tranny and axle.

i used to use a slide hammer but the one i got from Harbor Freight tools is just too big for the job. last time i tried using it i accidentally ripped a CV boot right off :? for now i use a 12" long 1/2" extention and a hammer, and smack the backside of the inner CV joint housing with it....it pops right out....

I have a big u-bolt that i found lying around the farm that i use for mine. it is exactly the right size to fit behind the tripot and get some leverage.
