I'm trying to replace my left side axle and it does not want to come out.
no prybar worked and I did take the transmission cross member off.
I have bent countless prybars trying to attemp to get this thing out.
Would it be bad if I took the other side out and knocked the drivers side end out through the tranny case?

Sure, just make sure that whatever you use can keep the differential from dropping.

NO!

You will destroy the tranny if you try to go "through" it .... there ain't no way! (Unless there is something different about your tranny compared to the several automatics that I've worked on.)

Keep laboring with the side that needs to come loose. I know it can be a miserable task ... and you will think the axle will never break loose ... but it will!

TIP: I have use tapered wooden shims, driven in place, to put some force on the axle hub ... and then with a crow-bar in another spot on the hub, broken the axle loose. I don't know why these things have to be so difficult. My Windstar's axles just "fell out" in comparison!

They will usually break loose easier with a quick jolt than if you just try applying lots of pressure. I've read of lots of people having trouble removing these axles, but I've never had any problems. Knock on wood!! I think the last time I removed them in my '88 Pony I used a flat 12" carpenters pry bar and it popped right out. I think there is also a tool that can be used with a slide hammer to remove them, but I've never seen one so I don't know how it works. Might check with some of the auto parts stores and see if they have one in their loan a tool supply.
