Removing drive shafts? Tranny?

I'm almost done dropping my tranny using the repair manual's directions, I can't seem to remove the drive shafts easily. Whats the best way to approach this? Do I really need any of the SST's?

I just pulled it out a little. I can fix it easy. I could just get the tie rod seperator from my shop but I'm working at home now.. my 36" prybar should take care of it though

Ok I cannot get the tie rod end out to save my life.. even with my huge brother helping. What is the best way beside me going and getting the SST from toyo?




Oh yea $400 later and 10s of work I got the axle nuts off real quick.

Did you try pulling/pushing with a pry bar and then someone hitting it with a mallet at the same time?

Nice buy on the compresser and impact wrench. They will come in handy.

All you needed was a $30 breaker bar with the socket you got. Just pull on the breaker bar while someone steps on the brake pedal. But I'm glad you got it off. Spray PB blast on anything that doesn't want to move. It's about $3.00 at any pepboys, autozone etc. It's a s*it load better the WD40. done go for cheapy axles cause they vibrate. Rebuilt ones are the best cause same warranty, I get it for $49.95 through my garage and it's individually hand built! Need help I'll try to help. if you were in Jersey I would have done it for you.
You don;t need to remove the tie rod ends - just unbolt the lower control arm from the hub assebly - use the hub to help pop the axle out of teh trans (the drivers side - the pass side comes out easy when you unbolt the center carrier) and once its out of the trans just put the bolt back on the end to cover the threads and tap the axles out of the hub with a hammer.

I took care of that easily once I figured it out. Right now im just working on pulling the drivers shaft. I dont wanna damage it. I pulled off the snap ring as well and I'm not sure if that was supposed to come off or not..
get 2 pry bars and putr force on the CV housing from tranny side. Then just grab the axle end and yank a whole bunch.
Oh i just got it. I think my problem was i was just tugging on it. I pushed it in then snapped it back real quick and it popped out instantly. It's funny (not really) when you spend hours doing stupid crap to get something out and then you come back and do it in a couple min...
