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

the pass side should just slide right out. after you pull all the bolts that is.



the drivers side is a bitch! both times Ive had to pull them from my engine swaps I have had issues. Heres what worked for me....


get under the car with a pry bar, wedge it in to the little grooves on the axle (be careful not to damage the ring near the tranny).

have someone else pull on the axle while you hammer the **** out of the and of the pry bar.


It takes a bit of work, but if you do it right, the person pulling on the axle should deepthroat the end of it when it finally pops loose.


make sure you are ready to catch some tranny fluid when ur pulling these guys out (can't remember which side, but one of them is dry, the other isn't, if someone can help me with this)


GL!
