Heckova time getting XRT axle shaft out. Help!
We've tried everything to get the driver side axle shaft out. The instructions (see pic) say to pry it out with a screwdriver. Well, that doesn't work. We've put penetrating oil in there as best we can, and tried tapping in wide chisels to add some outward force.
No luck. Has anybody BTDT? It's an aluminum case, so we can't heat it with a torch. That little "Compression Ring on Spline" needs to be overcome to get the axle shaft out, and I suspect that it's rusted in its groove. |

With that design it’s very possible the splines are rusted together. Bigger prybar, and work from both sides to try to wiggle it out.

Are you replacing the axle or just rebuilding it? The inner joints can usually be rebuilt without removing it from the diff if it’s really stuck.
If that’s a telescoping joint (the shaft moves in/out of the cup) then remove the band and the boot, wipe the grease away and there should be a cir-clip just inside the end of the cup. Pop that out and the joint just slides out. Be sure to have a rag or container under the joint so the bearing balls don’t fall on the ground and roll away. |

I just changed out the axles on a RZR 570 and they're similar to this. The way I do it is grab the shaft and use it like a slide hammer as there's usually a little play in them. If they've been in there a while they may be rusted together so it may take a few good hits.
