I am trying to replace the passenger driveaxle on a 96 LE 5S-FE. The problem is I can't get the intermediate shaft out. I have removed the bearing retaining bolt and the snap ring from the bearing support bracket. I have taken the outer drive shaft off and I can't get it out. I broke a 3 ft pry bar and tried a hand sledge and punch. I am going nuts. Anyone encounter this problem and if so what did you do?
encoutered this very same problem attempted to change clutch on a 1mzfe, never able to take it out, even took out the driver side axle and hammered the passenger axle from the driver side through the intermediate shaft with a metal rod, and didn't work, pry bar didn't work either.
the hayes manual says remove the lock bolt and snap tring, then pull it, obviously it didn't work, so ended it up left it alone, still wondering if anyone else know any trick to take it off.
