There are stories of onethat was taken to shop and a 30-40 ton press couldn't get the axle out of the hub.
These are often stuck in there really good though. If a 3lb sledge wont budge it after a few hits, a hub puller can usually get it loose without mushrooming the end of the axle.
Thank you. I was hoping to put the old axle back in again but now the "U" joint is stuck at a downward angle and will not go back into tranny. SMH

So i am trying to remove the CV axle from my 99 OBS. it came out of the tranny no problem. but the wheel side is a bear! I have tryed spraying WD40, heating, PB break, beating it with hammer. it just wont come loose. any suggestions? And yes I removed the 1 1/4" axle nut first.

GG. I managed to get the gaskets / grommets (Fel Pro) at Auto zone at a reasonable price. The place i usealy goto cost about 20% more for same thing.
It went pretty smoothly, took me about 3 hours to complete. The hardest part was getting to the back bottom bolt on both sides.
The left valve cover was a bit tricky too manuver out / in but I just took my time. Takeing out the battery and wiper jug helped alot.
Thanks again for your help.

So I was poking around the engine in my 99 OBS. after pulling out one of the plug wires / grommet I noticed a bit of oil in the gap between the head and block. I check three of the four plugs and they all seem to have same issue. I also notice hot oil smell from engine as well.
What could be problem?
