pain in my as$ clutch, clutch install Options

[my96celica]

Okay so this is my first time puting in a clutch myself and I cant get off the axel on either side.
I took a hammer and a screw-driver and pulled but did not move the axel.
How do I remove the axel?
I cant get my clutch housing off all the way I think the axel is in the way.
any help would be nice

pass. side has NO snap ring that's why its easier.

easy........take out battery
take out anything that's in the way or attached to the tranny. (i.e. starter, intake tubing, cruise control motor........etc.)

take out hubs........

take off the 3 bolts--well its 1 bolt and 2 nuts that hold the hub to the control arm

take off tie rod CAREFULLY dont turn it or you'll screw up your alignment

take off 2 bolts on the shocks to free off the hub.

oh also the nut holding the axle to the spindel thingy.

stuff like that. its best to go find someone who can walk you through it in person.
