Help with removal of axles for TC removal.
Just got back from vacation and resumed my task to remove my TC for replacement and I'm looking for some help/advice/tips on removing both the driver's side and passenger's side axles.
I've been following the following Evom threads:
1. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=91894
2. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=280909
And the evomoto thread:
3. http://evomoto.com/tech_info.php?tec...626c4fc802590f
I'm not too clear on where to pry the axle to remove it from the TC's output shaft.
The evomoto link and factory manual refer to the pry point at the face of the TJ assembly (the green piece) as indicated as #2 on the attached pic.
Never mind the duct tape; it's to protect the piece when prying.
However, it does not seem like the the axle is moving at all prying at this point.
So I started lightly prying at the point indicated as #1 on the attached pic (which I've heard to as being called the axle cup).
I noticed the metal this piece is made of is very malleable, so I stopped prying after bending the piece careful not to touch the rubber section underneath.
Any help/tips guys?
Thanks in advance.

6-speed:
Get the biggest pry bar or use a 1/2 inch breaker bar and wedge it next to #2 on your picture above and use a hammering action with it...be patient and it will come loose. Good luck.
