I took most of the shaft out no problem, but the very last part that goes into the transmission is stuck. I tried prying it as best as I could, pulling with wire, and shaking and pulling with vice grips. I am trying to move and the only thing stopping me at this moment is this one piece, any advice would be appreciated.




thank you

ok. so you have the outer joint and actual shaft out as one piece, but the inner joint is still stuck in the tranny?
which motor and tranny, and ill look it up.

2.2L and it is an automatic, i do not know much more than that hah

need a drive shaft puller tool and slide hammer. only way to do it perfect. you can try prying it, but you best bet would be to either rent the tools and buy the manual, or take it to a shop.

which manual was this out of?

not a manual. AllData online. you need to be a shop to get the version i have.

alright, well im semi-limited on the height issue, it is sitting in my parking lot on jack stands and i have a weak floor jack. im assuming the best way to go about this would be through the top, correct?

no room. side or bottom.

i knew that was the next thing you were going to say, alright i appreciate it.
