welded it onto a piece of threaded rod to pull them back in.

Absurdly tight.

Like, class 4 fit...

Nah dude I love that you used an axe. ROFL. Of all the tools I never had thought of using you used an ax.

Glad to see the efforts and receive advice - finally got it in though.

used the axe for mine the other day even though there was nothing wrong with the shafts. accidently caught the ex with the back swing. ooops.

haha woo!
it now needs to be asked with every DIY: is an ax the missing link?

Have to be careful when prying them, I did that and went for a spirited drive.
Halfshaft bearings disagreed, and blew up.
It was really fun.... not
Put a new one in and she was golden!
