is there a trick for getting the axle to come out of the half shaft?it doesnt seem to pop out like my tranny axle did.thanks for any help in advance

 

heat and pb blaster are a good starting point. But if it's seized I'd by new stuff. But thats just me.

 

heat the outer one obviously (mapp gas or oxygen actelyne torch, propane is to cold) , soak with pb blaster, try to get a good size center punch or stake or some metal rod to hit with a 10lb mallet and shoot for the inner middle of the axle as hard as you can swing it.

 

Unbolt the halfshaft and take it and the axle out together, should be easier to remove than having it still bolted up.

I just hit the axle with a hammer and it popped loose from the halfshaft.
