I've had my Capri since October of last year and absolutely love this car. I firmly believe it can lay anything in its path to waste.. (with enough Upgrades) I recently dusted a BWM E30. However, in the process of ripping mad burnouts... I broke my Passenger side Axle and proceeded to look stupid in front of ladies.. (and gentlemen) I've tried to take them off when I put a new Clutch in, but failed... So I took out the housing with the axles. (ps. It was a b*tch)
Now, time has come where I must take this axle out. I've tried anything from Pickaxes to Chains to dual sledgehammers, and it has moved about a 1/4 inch. Am I missing something or is it just fubar?
Please Help :-\
I must continue to live in the fast lane!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxMFKTwe6hA gives a basic idea on how to do it. Also don't do burnouts and stuff in your Capri the transmissions suck and will explode.

Zombie is referencing removing a stuck axle. I've had to buy two transmissions due to being unable to remove stuck axles. Local transmission shops couldn't do any better.

How much did you end up paying for one??

im going to try attaching a slide Hammer to some vice-grips and use shock force. I will return with results tomorrow. Wish me luck guys!!

Luck wished, but please refrain from burnouts in these cars, otherwise youll end up with a dead trans. What I would recommend would be getting a LSD, so that if you do; do a burnout it wont blow your trans to hell.

Here in NC, $400 was the best I could find. WV $300, and it turned out to be bad. Really lucked out at one from a Forum member for $100 with only 100K. It's been in a year now and except for a leak at the shifter rod, it's going great.
