Nowah9 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 The punch I bought to change my CV Axles ended up going all the way through and snapping. The Company23 one desgined for Subaru.....does any one have any tips for getting this thing out? It's stuck really good and I can't drive to a mechanic because I accidentally used the the wrong Axle and now I need it off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying using various screw drivers but it won't budge at all. I'm gonna buy a 3/16 punch and maybe that will help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 what car? you may be able to pop the stub out and work on a bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowah9 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 A 5 speed manual 92 Loyale. I'm not sure how I would go about doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAP Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Find a drift pin the appropriate diameter, and long enough to drive it out. That would work on 80's axles, not sure on yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Your axle is installed 180* off, I use the same tool on EAs and EJs, it should NOT be getting stuck in ANY, if the axle is properly aligned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djellum Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Use a crappy 1/4 drive extension to install the roll pin. To start it place the pin in the wrench end so it will hold it in place while you get it started and wont let it expand or slip and fall. Once you have driven ir in as far as the extension allows flip it over and use the socket end to finish it. Finish it with a real punch if its not seated deep enough into the axle but it only needs another couple mm's at most. Ruins the extension for its origional purpose but makes a great pin tool. No chance for going too far or for expanding the pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoe Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I drilled a hole in the top of my Subie size pin punch half depth of a pin? to install, or rather start the installation and just gently tap the wrong end of punch. Glad you got it out so soon. I got the taper of my punch jambed well and good on rear axle and ended up pulling the diff and it stayed as a garden ornament for years. I finally had some luck in removing that punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
