is it the correct axle? Do you have your old one to compare the two?

I just kept twisting and pushing at the same time. Be patient, you'll get it.

Isn't there suppose to be a lock ring on the axle? Maybe they aren't doing it right. Thats why I never take my car to a shop. I do eveyrthing myself. They sould be able to twist and push it in. They will be able to hear a pop the most relieving sound ever btw. That means its in.

make sure the lock ring is facing down, side it it and align the splines, then use a big flathead screw driver and a hammer to gently tap it in from each of the 3 sides.

the angel clip should be giving you more problems when you take the axle out...not when your trying to put it in.... doesn't Midas do exhausts....... haha make sure it's the right axle sometimes the axles get swapped from box to box.

Excellent point. I dont know how many times they gave me the wrong axle in the box. I took it up to an axle shop today and they got the axle in but there was like a half inch of play so the axle works it way out and it leaks.What could cause the axle to slide out when pressure is on it?Seals are fine.I've spent two weeks on this im done if anyone wants to buy let me know |

Maybe they broke the lock ring. I honestly think you got the wrong axles. Shorter ones maybe, thats why its sliding out. Hold on you're selling the celica?

the snap ring either came off or you definitely have the wrong axle.
