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. |

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.

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! -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

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. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

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.
