Helps spinning them over while pulling them out, dislodges the retainer sometimes

Thank you for this video! Went to pull Right axle from a Nissan Maxima- I came apart at the boot. I used PB blast to loosen things up, still no luck. No lift or pit so I can’t get under the vehicle to bang it out. The tool you crafted is amazing!!!! Thx you…

I wrap a chain around the inner joint and use a slide hammer. Pops right out.

They have slide hammers for axles with a bent end like a pickle fork at a 90 degree angle. Like $20 on Amazon, and they work wonders.

We had a one at work, even the vice grip and slide hammer would not work so we ended up welding two bolts to it used a harmonic balancer puller, and then we screwed the slide hammer to the harmonic balancer puller and off it came super easy, thank gosh my coworker has a welder 🤣

OTC sells a slide hammer kit and inside is a adapter with claw for the slide hammer to use on that axle housing. The housing has 4 protruding points which the claw will grab. I just used it. I have the OTC kit

So how are you clamping the vice grip onto the axel. Oh you mean after you ruin it then put the vice grip on....wow, what a great tip
