Toyota Repair: Camry Right hand axle, cv boot, new boots


Question
I cannot get the right axle out of the tranny.
The left came out with minimal trouble. It seems that the support bearing is not moving out. Any tricks or special things I could try?

Answer
There is a snap ring just behind the bearing towards the outside of the car, did you remove it?
Sometimes the bearing gets rusted in the housing and will come out after using lots of rust penetrant and perserverance, what we normally do is to leave the bearing where it is and take off the cv boot clamp and pull the outer part of the axle out, if you're just replacing the boots try doing it this way, pack the inner part full of grease and reinstall the axle with the new boots and install the new clamp.
