[quote:Anonymous Coward 76483244:MV80MDcxMzAzXzczNzY3MTc3X0FFQzNFRERC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 76483244:MV80MDcxMzAzXzczNzY3MTM3X0NBQUYyOERG] Had the same problem on a 2011 Toyota Sienna. It took me 6 hours on the passenger side. It was not stuck in transmission, it was stuck in the support fixture. Definitely use some PB blaster, the capillary action of this material will pay off. It took 6 hours because every time I applied PB blaster, I let it dwell for 15 minutes. I used an air hammer. It was exhausting, but it finally came out. Make sure you have removed the snap ring. After it is removed, when your putting the new one in, I highly recommend that you put a high quality grease on the support fixture. Also, there are two small set pins on the fixture when you remove it from the engine block. Remove these pins and don’t reinstall them. This saved my ass the second time I had to remove the axle for replacement. It was again stuck after two years of use. Instead of and airhammer the second time, I simply unbolted the fixture, and removed the fixture from the axle on a table clamp. [/quote] Adding to what I just said, it is also possible to remove a small bolt on the fixture. If you can find a longer bolt of the same size, you can drive it into the fixture and literally break the bearing that’s rusted up inside the fixture. That where it’s holding on. The breaking of this bearing will allow more PB Blaster to penetrate into the rusty areas, allowing your air hammer to be more effective. [/quote]
Original Message
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.
