Stuck rear axle? (9") - Action - 06-23-2011 You all are on the other side of the Country from me but have a great site and some good info. So I have a passenger side axle that is stuck and I mean stuck. It is a 73 that I have had over 25 years so may have never been apart-Not sure-I have beat-pulled- pried-cussed-used a drum for a slide hammer-What do i try next? Thanks Jack Stuck rear axle?

Anyway, what finally worked was heat, a scissors jack pushing from the back, and a hammer pounding on the axle housing around the bearing. We were at a campsite so not really the most ideal conditions plus we were under a time constraint to get back on the trail. I would heat it up a little then use plenty of PB Blaster in the bearing area. Then let it sit overnight and try what I mentioned above. Good luck! Stuck rear axle?

Now went to install pumpkin using Right Stuff-Tube was badcratchhe: Jack Stuck rear axle? (9") - jollygrngiant - 06-24-2011 That'd a been awesome though, if you did use the skid steer to pull it out.
