I am trying to replace both the drivers side and passengers side axles. (99 contour w/2.5l and ATX) I got the passenger side out just fine, but I can't for the life of me get the drivers side off. I have tried prybars with a block of wood behind them and the stupid shaft does not want to slide out. There is no room to get a good angle to pry from. I removed the intermediate shaft on the other side because the Haynes manual says you can punch the drivers side axle out from the passenger side. There is supposedly a "special tool" (a forked drift punch) that should pop the axle out. Where can I get this tool or is this something any auto shop would have? What are the tricks to getting this axle out? Please help:help::shrug:
