I recently acquired a 6gc celica. You may have seen my video posted on celica.net, and I posted some pictures of the car on here as well. I have been slowly removing the 5sfe engine out of it. Right now I am stuck on trying to remove the axles from the transmission. I have never removed an axle from a car so I have no idea what I am doing. I did how ever get the axles seperated from the "axle hub" (where the rotor and caliper sit). Now I am trying to remove the axles/driveshafts from the transmission. Do I just need to tug on the driveshaft really hard until it pops out or what? The Chiltons manual wasn't really helpful mad.gif On the drivers side axle there were six bolts that seemed to go in to the transmission. Do I need to remove these six bolts then tug on the driveshaft? Also is there any special puller that I need?

I will be back posting more questions, because the sooner I get this 5sfe out the sooner the 3sgte goes in. I wish I could take some pictures of my situation, but I leant out my camera :-l


cheers

you should just be able to put a screwdriver or prybar between the axle CV boot on the inside and the transmission, and pop it out that way...or, the way i did it, tied a rope around that CV boot, and tugged. smile.gif. either way are effective, just be ready for transmission oil to pour out, so i suggest you drain that first wink.gif.

Yeah as long as you disconnected the axles from the wheels, and then theres another piece on or near the tranny, i forget, that i remember i loosened, and then you tug. DRAIN FIRST. I made the mistake of being underneath while i pulled out the axle, its messy.
