there is a c-clip on the part of the axel that is in the transmission. You have to wiggle and jerk it just right for it to pop out. had my transmission out on the floor, using two 4-foot crowbars to pry that s.o.b. outta there. good luck

I'm noob in cars, may I ask what happened? Or what caused your axel and transmission to go? Does it have anything to do with a bad CV joint?

I would say it has more to do with me wheel hopping the bejesus out of it and dropping the clutch all the time.  ive learned my lesson though. sadly enough, the boot in one of the drive axle's is cracked, and the other is rusted. So im going to buy a new one. *cough* 129.99 *cough* i have to pick it up tomarrow at Autozone. Im depressed...frustrated...but mostly pissed that i was being stupid. -------------------- Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |
