Mr Radio

i am trying to remove the passenger side axle on my 2009 Civic. I looked at a couple of videos but they all show a
long axle going directly into the transmission. My car has a short axle, a carrier bearing and then a torque tube going
into the transmission. Any hints on removal? The drivers side came out normally.
thanks

The inboard cv joint comes off of the straight shaft.
It's held together with a snap ring, same style as the opposite axle has holding it in the transmission.

I usually use a large brass drift and hammer to drive them apart

Mr Radio

Thanks, I will give that a try.
I got a large crowbar in there and it would not move. I will try a drift.
Funny all the videos show a long axle. (PS I said a torque tube, which it is not, as it rotates with the axle)

Mr Radio

well did not have a drift large enough as the space is larger, but I was able to use it to tap the axle out.
Turns out that the pass side axle is female on the inboard side.
Thanks so much for your input.
Bill. B.
