Slide hammer.

 

I’ll go grab one. Just don’t know what I’m going to bite into

 

Had the rear cup get stuck like yours and I tried a slid hammer and I could not get a grip on the axle cup the thing that ended up getting it out was a lot of prybaring.

 

Like mentioned I took the bolt out of the vise grips threaded it onto my slide hammer bit down in the cup and yanked it out.

 

This might work…one sec

 

Also a bearing separator placed behind the remaining part, then the slide hammer axle puller attachment screwed onto the slide hammer, bang a few times and it should come out.

 

 

Yep it’s stuck.

Loaded in the trailer to go to a CV/driveline shop here in town in the AM.

3 jaw gear puller won’t fit.

Big harbor freight slide hammer attachments won’t fit.

Ended up with a pair of vice grips clamped hard enough to not come off with a little bit of the bolt in the end sticking out and ground down one of the slide hammer attachments that came with the small harbor freight slide hammer enough to where the U shape fit perfectly around the protruding bolt head.

Slammed back all the way around for 5 minutes as hard as I could and it might have came out a little bit but still it’s not out.
Had to just reinstall the axle back in 2 pieces so I could install the hub to drive it. Even have a spare freaking axle but without being able to remove the piece it’s useless.
Other than this and the loose/bent upper shock bolt…the upper/lower a arm install went smooth. 😂

 

Anyone know off the top of their head if the hole goes all the way through?

Meaning can I just pull the other side back out and try to knock it out with a long metal rod of some sort?

I believe it dose.

 

Best luck? Keep the front end all together.

Wrap a cheap ratchet strap around it. Crank it down until it pops out.

Turn the volume down, poor editing on the video.

Used this method to pop some rears out. Guessing it will work for the fronts. YMMV

 

I do this and if that doesn’t work I hook a slide hammer on the strap and can usually get it after a bit of trying

 

Nevermind

I just realized who the OP is.

 

Thanks so much. Hopefully that ratchet strap will get it by pulling on both sides at once like that…

if not I’ll go get the exhaust clamp and try the chain/slide hammer method

 

yes, the rear goes thru so u can take the other axle out and pound the piece out. not so on the front. i've not had to do that tho. so i've done front and rear this way. maybe you need another gear puller. i've been able to fit the jaws on it and tie them tight with tie wraps so it doesn't come loose. then the slide hammer does the trick. alternately the right length of metal or small dogbone wrench could be maneuvered to catch the inside lip of that axle cup, then slide hammer. or a bolt with a nut u could put on the end to tighten it within that cup, then sh. what about wrap it with a nylon strap wrench, twist it super tight and, you know.

 

After fighting with a couple stuck axles on different occasions and trying every backyard, home grown solution I bought the Axle Magic 2 puller from all thingz utv. It has yet to take more than 10 slaps to pull an axle for me. The ONLY downside is you have to slide the CV boot back to allow the bolts to lock into the groove to be able to pull the axle out so if you are pulling a good axle to do something like remove the diff you have to replace the CV boot clamps. Cool thing about it is that it is pretty compact and fits in my toolbox on the RZR so if I break an axle on the trail I can get it out!!!

This is the best method. tried everything else but this worked. didnt need the slide hammer just give it a good tug..

 

Another option

 

Nice

 

Adjustable head pry-bar with forks. Used for removing CV joints from cars & trucks.

It works.

 

5 in stock @ local Home Depot...omw

 

Hopefully this prompts some people to put anti seize on their axle splines for future ease of pulling. I keep mine heavily coated and I’ve never had trouble getting an axle out, knock on wood.

 

When I replace my axles I use anti seize as well.

 

I've had luck with the ratchet strap method. Get it as far down behind the cup as you can and crank it down, and beat the cup with a mini sledge. Works every time. Good Luck!

 

Slide hammer vise grip , pry bar and hammer. Try hitting it off on angle from Under rear diff while someone pulls.

 

ok, here's a method nobody's tried before (@ 1:56):

 

This is NOT the proper way to do it...from the trans.
