Driver side axle stuck in spindle

[SHHEP33555]

Any tips/suggestions on getting this thing loose? I already tried the hammer/mallet, holding it level, another pair of hands. I'm not to worried about damaging the axle as i will be replacing. The axle comes out of the trans fine/easy just stuck on the spindle. Thanks

50-50 acetone and atf. put in spray bottle. best stuff to use to break loose things. better than pb blaster or liquid wrench. give it a couple minutes and hit it with a hammer again.

put the nut back on flush with the end of the axle though. If you haven't already, you'll mushroom the end of the axle and then your in real deep shit lol.

air hammer, if you have access to a compressor, etc

i feel your pain...not on the EP3 but on my 01 Maxima i had to change the wheel bearing...

air hammer, torch, mallet etc etc, nothing worked...in the end i had to remove the entire spindle from the car and take it to a shop with a 50 ton press....in the end the spindle in half before the farking axle wanted to come out...i hope you dont have to take it so far.
