so today i got my stage1 axles from ottp. i have a thred going on over in redline fourms. but any one im having one hell of a time getting my cv axle off my intermeidte shaft. i used a hammer, pry bar, flat head screw driver and nothing. so they were saying to get the axle pressed off the shaft. does any one else have anything to add to this. i dont know crap about tranny or anyhthing that connects to it lol. but i have done a little bit of research and it seems like mostly every one has this problem.also there wear saying my bearing could be siezed but it spins when i rotate the axle. also some one on that site said i should replace the IM shaft i really dont think so.......so what do ya think? any ideas

you should be able to just pry it off. it's got a c-clip in a recessed ring that keeps it together

i think when i took mine off i had someone pull on the end to keep steady pressure on it when i pried

what i said to you Scotch, was remove the IM shaft from the car and press it out with an hydraulic press. I also said you will need to replace the bearing in the shaft (cheap) and hopefully not the shaft (expensive)

dont take the advice, hammer the crap out of it on the car and lets see how badly you can break your car. You got the same advice from Flatgod who just replaced the same part on his car.

Tech mod needed. Get help.
