Nothing too different,if you can do a BP,you can do z5

[Ace]

well, I did the timing belt on the BP but never the WP, so hopefully it shouldnt be too hard. But if the axles are any indication of how hard it will be then it won't be fun. to get the axles out took a torch and 20 lb sledge. bent my friends press.

You had a bad axle day for shure,The pump isnt that bad ,im sure you will
be ok.Do you have an impact gun to get the crank bolt off?

[Ace]

yep. but yeah i cant get either side out of the tranny, and only got one side out of the hub.. this car is such a PITA.
i bent my prybar trying to get them out of the tranny..
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU

I know its hard to do but try getting 2 bars on opposite sides of the inner cv
tap one down tight then the other.Ive had luck doing that as it keeps the axle more straight coming out.
Once one side is out try putting a flat chisel/punch through the diff,past the pin to knock the other axle out.

Return line on rail

Didnt get much time to work on it today but i managed to get a return line on the rail.I also put on a connection for the fuel pressure sending unit.

Tried to get my axles out again to no avail. I tried a pickle fork and it didnt do anything either..

Damn dude,What about pounding a large steel chisel in between the cv and the case.

Are you doing outer boots or are the outer joints wrecked?

[Ace]

I'm replacing the entire axle on both sides. and I haven't tried a chisel yet, but a pickle fork would do the same thing wouldn't it?

LOL ya I guess a fork should work as good ,they dont seem to go in very deep though.I chisel might be "sharper" and go deeper before contacting .
Just a thought,I have a large chisel like 2 feet long that i used before to dislodge the inner cv's.

[Ace]

nope.. didn't do ****..
I'm about ready to burn this car to the ground.. lol

[Beerizfood]

Yep,Burn it!^^^

Hey, I replaced the passenger axle on my car. Wouldn't come out of the tranny. Tried sledge hammer, pry bar, and a slide hammer with a chain wrapped around the axle, nothing worked. Then I went to the drivers side, rotated that wheel a little bit, went back to the passengers side and it popped right out. Worked for me so maybe it can work for you.

[Ace]

I've tried rotating it a hundred times.. this axle just wont come out.
