i tried to remove my driver side axle in my 95 gt w/MT and i cant get it out of the transmission i tried using a pry bar and tapping on a it with a pry bar and mallotto force it out but nothing is there an easier way?

I don't get why people talk about this, as soon as I undid the 2 bolts on the strut and far end popped out I just pulled it out at the other end where the transmission is and it came out :s

But yeah try a screw driver or a pry bar.

I shoved a ball joint remover in there(2 prongs like a pry bar) then banged the hell out of it with a sledgehammer.... came out easy as pie after tryin that lol

wrap a rope around the axle, have someone pull the rope while you pry it out. spin the axle with the other person still pulling and pry again.

thank for the info guys

does it really come out that easy even with the prying? i remember it beign a pain in the ass last time my boots went out... years ago.

Nah mine didn't come out that easy, maybe if its not in there good it comes out easy.

I pried for a long time and nothing happened... To get mine out i placed the pry bar on the axle, and it was long enough that it had just barely touched the ground, so i put my foot on it and applied pressure, and pop!

the OEM tire iron is the tool used in the BGB. you wedge the flat part behind the cup, and whack it with your hand and or mallet.
after trying ALLLL kinds of ways, that is still IMO the best and easiest way.
couple whacks with a mallet, and they pop right out.

pressure hit it right on the head, so to speak. it gets hard when you get the axle cocked and the snapring crooked and twisted and jammed up. it should be one swift sudden movement and then its out. if not, jam it back in all the way and try again.
