I cannot get the axle to come free despite the "slide hammer" action multiple times. Tips or suggestions?
ReplyDeleteJohn, just a thought... Try rotating it 1/4 turn between "slide hammer" actions. It runs in oil bath in rear end so although unlikely, its possible it's seized. If no luck you may try removing the other axle and knocking it through if it's not seized as well. Let me know what worked for you. Thanks
DeleteI just did a Gator 620i and the slide removal trick would not work. This particular one had a snap ring on the inside so I had to remove the bolts holding the "flange" to the transmission housing.
