i searched the site already and they said just to push it in and use your full body mass to pull it out when i tried that only half the axle came out from the inner rubber boot the part that connects to the tranny is still stuck in there is there a way to get it out without a axle puller?

lol. Its not gonna come out by just pulling on it like that, good try though.
 Get a assortment of pry/crow bars, and on the part that goes into the transmission, there are deep ridges in the metal, made just for you to pry there! There is a snap ring that holds it in well so it takes some muscle. And be sure you have drained your transmission fluid or some will come through when you pull the axle. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

Don't forget to get a new axle seal too. The driver side axle seal "will" probably get busted if your going the "prying it out" route. It takes time but it will come out.

thats just about they way to do it, idk correct me if im wrong, but on most fwd cars thats how u do it. just try and keep the inner axle level, then find a spot that will give u good leverage, and go to town, dnt be affraid to use a big a** prybar, it makes life much easyer.

just try to find an area that has good clearance to play with, sry i dnt have my car on hand to take a pic. if u have a 3-4 foot long prybar or one with an angled end, it should be np to pop out, put the tip of the bar against the backside of the axle, and then lean the bar against the tranny. push real hard a few times, and it'll pop out

I jammed a pry bar in the axle and had to hold it myself while I kicked it off. 5 hours of pain taking off that stupid driver side axle.
