Tryin to help a fellow TGO'r needing a 9-bolt drvr axle.
Pics show where I'm at.
Question is, how does the axle come out?
I've tried some minor hammer force with no results,
and I can't see any access for C-clips in the carrier.
Its been rusting for a long time, as shown by having
to torch off the pan-hard mounting, just to get a clear
shot at knocking off the rotor. Need some confirmation
that the BFH will get the axle out, or whatever the
alternative is.

Thanks in advance,

The axle is held in by the retainer plate via the bearing assembly thats pressed onto the axle. Sometimes they can be a little hard to remove. A few taps with a hammer should get it out once the plate is loose, but nothing drastic should be needed to remove it.

Took a look at the rear and that thing is munched! Thats probably why its so hard to get it out. Theres likely a bunch of metal and crap in the splines causing it to bind up. Make sure you use a piece of wood to cushion the axle flange so you dont damage it. It should come out if you wack it hard enough.

I built a plate for a slide hammer that i bolted to the lug nuts, (you only need a couple of lugs) a few wacks with the slide hammer will pop it out. There are no "c" clips on a 9 bolt. Just the 4 bolts on the retainer plate.
