twilight slide

So I've been trying to remove the passenger side stub axle on an s5 TII diff, to no avail. Tried a screw driver through the housing, tried a 2' breaker bar between the stub axle and the housing, all without results It slides in/out the normal 1/4", but after that no go. Am I missing something or did Jesus pound this in? Drivers pops out easy enough, the next step is heat but I feel that will do nothing as well. HALP?

I think I got them out by hammering a chisel in the crack.

prybar between the diff case and the axle.

the axle is held in by a spring c-clip only but over time it bites in pretty hard and can take a bit of leverage to pop them out.

I used a punch/5lb min sledge through the diff as my 2' breaker/pry bar was doing nothing. The culprit was a damaged c-clip that was bent outwards slightly, managed to take a nice chunk out of the stub shaft.

sometimes you have to tap the stub inward toward the diff and walk it back and forth if it is being stubborn.

I gave this thing hell before using the punch. In/out, 2 pry bars at the same time, ridiculous. Does anyone know, if some up/down/left/right play normal for the stub shafts to have? It's minimal, maybe .01 or so at the flange. This is on a Kaaz BTW.

Sometimes it helps to use a prybar on one side with light pressure then one on the other side with a snapping force. Makes the force more strait out and less to the side.

Just make sure you dont have that pry bar anywhere near that aluminum rear cover on that thing.,. Mine came out with a pry bar and hammer.. good luck.
