i must be dumb cause i cant get the damn driverside axle out of the tranny , its a 5 speed , got the other one out but for some reason the othr side wont budge
drivers side axle - 6G Celicas Forums
autozone rents tools for those, but if u dont wanna go , get two big flat head screwdrivers, shove them in where the axle goes into the tranny. and push the tools towards the tranny, the axle should pop out but you need to replace the inner seal when u do that

you have to sort of pry it out. just keep working on it and dont pull on the boot.

had the same problem when i replaced mine. Pass side went fine. Drivers side would not come out. Finally the thing came completely apart and I was stuck with just the part that goes into the trans. This is what i did.... clamped some vise grips on the peice stuck and hooked the vise grips up to a slide-puller (or whatever it's called). I can't remember exactly how but I took the adjusting screw out of the vise grips and screwed it through the slide puller. Couple gentle yanks and it popped right out.
Edit: I guess i should mention that this method isn't very advisable unless you are replacing the whole thing...

Pull. And keep pulling. When that doesnt work, pull harder.
When I did my clutch we got hung up on the CV axles. We had to pull like a mo-fo on the driver side one and figure out how in the hell to get the passenger side one out with that intermediate shaft there. We had to pry the bracket thing away from the engine block THEN pull like a mofo. In someways I hate this design but I love it because it gets rid of a lot of torque steer through the stability.
you need to use a pry bar, the bgb shows a tire iron. works for me, everytime! >

use a pry bar, I've done mine twice now
Make sure its all unbolted, there are some bolts that need to be undone - I believe.

i dotn get it i pryed , pulled with a come along , tell the car almost came with ,it no really workign out

tis true, there are 6 bolts I believe that hold the seal to the differential. Be careful about prying though because that seal is just aluminum and you could bend it very easily. Thus ruining the seal and forcing you to buy a new one unless you want to keep poring in tranny fluid every week.
Try angling the CV axle and pushing in then pulling out. Make sure you are careful.

get a good strong and long pry bar... and dont just pry... hit the damn thing... get as much leverage as you can and just keep yanking. rock the pry bar back with as much force as you can. It'll come dude.
There are 2 types of axles some have bolts, some have a ring on the end of the axle that holds it in the tranny. For the ring type just get a crow bar and pop it out, if that doesn't work use a hammer and lightly tap on the crowbar till it pops out. Takes me about a minute to pop mine out.
U used a come along? Sh!t surprised you didnt pull the car off the stands.

when i did my clutch it only took my brother and i about 5 min to do the axels and a day to do the clutch
yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
does anyone have pics? I'm not sure if mine has those bolts or if it should just pop out... Thanks!

Man, all those hints are wrong!!
Your gonna ruin your tranny seal if you stick a screwdriver in there and pry it out.
Heres wat u do!
1.) Get under it with: Rubber hammer, and a small pry bar
2.) Using the Pry bar position it so that you can knock out the axel outwards. There are these groove on the axel itself where it goes into the tranny. They look like groves that stick out on the metal part that goes into tranny. Thats where you will be positioning your pry bar.
3.) Gently Tap the end of the pry bar and then rotate the axel. And position it again on the groves. Keep doing it untill it pops out!
Takes me less than 5 mins to do it. Make sure you got enough room to get under the body and enough room to swing the hammer. When your installing do the same thing and just tap it back in untill it goes all the way in.

Yo Guy's......
this is scary, how often have some of you changed you CV axels ???
i've got to change mine and it's gonna cost me best part of $500 just for the parts
plus maybe waiting 6 weeks (worst case) to get them from Japan
(remember i'm in Russia)
what the life expectency on the CV axel cause i'm thinking i should order the other side at the same time if they go regular ??????

Life is for living, and you don't get a second chanceTake care now !!

it all depends on how you drive. ive seen some last as long as 100,000+ miles while others go sooner. mine went early because they kind of got tossed around during my engine swap. since i put new ones in, i didnt have any more issues.
here in america, we have a lot of companise that take in your old axels and rebuild them for about 75$ with lifetime replacement warrenty. i know that if i was to go to the local toyota dealer here, it would be around 250$ per side for brand new ones.

I just replaced mine last summer and they already went out on me. Most likely because I got rebuilds by CCT before I got advice from ^ on getting rebuilds from carquest.
im doin the same thing and im still stuck! so is there any unbolting to do then?
<--- I miss :'' (
never mind i got it off... wish i got it on video. FINALLY i can change out my seal. if ur changing the clutch u can take down the tranny with the cv axle on it. just take the passenger driveshaft off.

I had the same problem while doing my axles, except I had trouble with the passenger side. The driver side popped right out. For the other, I tied a strong rope to the axle behind the big piece of metal just outside the differential. It took me and 2 other guys to jerk it out. This was done after prying, pulling, crying, kicking, and cursing.
Use EXTREME care when changing seals. It's tricky finding a spot to pry them out easily. I found it much easier to take a flathead and a hammer and make a little dent in it, and then prying around that dent.
