[quote:Anonymous Coward 77744034:MV80MDcxMzAzXzczNzYzMjU5X0Y2Njk4QjUw] [quote:putnamteach 77039732:MV80MDcxMzAzXzczNzYzMTQ0XzkzODU3OEY1] I had a vehicle that was giving me this exact issue. What I did was jack the front end off the ground extremely high and supported the car. I took a long heavy piece of pipe and shoved it in to the axle mount from the drivers side. I then beat the piece of pipe with a ten pound sledgehammer. Make sure to hit the axle only and to realign the pipe after each hit. After about 10 hits the axle popped right out. [/quote] That reminded me of another idea too, using the weight of the vehicle to assist. Jack up vehicle, position pry bar so as the vehicle lowers it pries it off. Slowly lower vehicle with the jack. I've done that for the axle nut. [/quote]

So I've got a 2009 toyota sienna minivan. I am trying to replace the passenger side cv axle but it will not come out of the transmission.
I have tried pry bars (bent them), air hammer (hasn't even moved a bit), slide hammer (not even a budge), I even tried renting a set of tie rod pry bars/ball joint separators and hammered away on them. Nothing.

The part of the axle left to be removed is the right side of the picture.
No matter what i have tried nothing is working and I am losing my mind with it. It will not budge. There is a bracket attached to the engine that the bearing fits into. I cannot remove this bracket due to the location of the 3 bolts holding it in.
Please, if anyone can help. I am losing my mind with this thing.
