Okay. So I'm trying to replace my front cv axles. But my axle won't come out. From what I've been reading it should be able to come out with out a problem. Unless I did something wrong somewhere. I have a 2005 evolution rs. Please help a little lady out!

Get yourself a set of prybars. They don't just fall out.

I've been at it with prybars for hours. Maybe I'm not strong enough to budge it. :'(

Out of curiosity did you do anything in particular to cause that kind of damage?

No. Previous owner. Tried running the car into the ground and blowing it up. He finally admitted to it recently.. it a project. And now my transfer case won't stop leaking. Any ideas how to quick fix that?

You probably ripped the seal putting it back in, or taking it out I'm assuming.

I have no clue. But one of my good buddies are coming over to get a better look at it and hopefully tell me I did something wrong and it can be fixed.

My update is my axle still isn't done. We ended up getting some pretty severe weather and required safety. But will be going back at it tomorrow. Also the axle will go in. But not all the way. We have taken it out of gear, and put it in every gear to see if that would help. Cause I read that somewhere it could help. And still no such luck. So my tcase fluids are just pouring out. And thank you
