I'm about to remove the right front axle to replace seals. I've torn it down to the hub carrier (with the hub bearing unit removed) and I can't pull the axle out. It feels like it's hung up on something soft, like another seal somewhere inside the axle tube. What am I doing wrong?
If you have everything off down to and including the hub bearing unit then all you are missing is a good pull. I generally stick a pry bar in the u joint area and use that for leverage. There is no c clip holding the axle in the center.
