I am replacing the passenger (right) side drive axle assembly on a 92 Geo Storm. How do I remove the differential side joint housing from the transaxle??
The instruction sheet that came with the new axle says to pry it off, but I am getting no where. Any Tips??[/quote:0bcfffc048]
There are two types of inner joints, one type looks mostly round, you can just grab the axle and yank it out with that one, the other is a tri-pod or trilobal type, you cannot pull that one, you have to get between it and the tranny with a couple pry bars and force it out, it can be stubborn, make sure you press straight out, not upwards or sideways any, there is a circlip inside that has to compress and slide out of a groove. Good luck, as they have caused a few bad words to exit my mouth in the past.
