    Replaced axles today...

    Learned a new trick in the process. The left side axle wouldn't come out, I pried, beat, pried some more, then gave up and called my ex-boss, who's a pro mechanic.
    He told me to pull the right side axle(already done), and reach in the tranny with a long thin screwdriver and put it up against the inner end of the left side axle. Then hit the screwdriver with a hammer a few times and the axle should fall right out!! And the guy was right.

    I wish I had known that a long time ago. I ruined an axle forcing it out by pulling and hitting. That procedure would have solved the problem.
