Default 2006 gs300 awd front right cv axle stuck in transmission

Please help i cant get it out. Looks like bearing rusted and stuck. I have very limited space but tried hitting with hammer and it just moved a very little after 1 day of hammering. Can anyone tell me away of getting it out.

typically there is a retaining clip at the end that keeps the axle from coming straight out, at least thats what I remember when I remove mine from my H2. I just got a slide hammer and it came out. Maybe hit the gym for a week then try again. HAHA just kidding.

as you can see it from the pic the that ring is out and I have hit it from the back with pry bar then used slide hammer, nothing seems to work it is very rusty and seems like rust kind of made it stuck. looks like hitting the gym is a good advice lol

Rent a wheel bearing splitter and some have threaded holes to where you can run a long bolt through it. Bolt the splitter on the cv and have a pusher bolt push on a piece of metal backing plate

Kinda like this https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...120117460.html

something like this https://www.harborfreight.com/Bearin...Set-62593.html would work? my hands are all sore from hitting that with that slide hammer. and it won't even move

So I found these pictures on the forum form a IS250 AWD, if you look at the last pic. There is a oring looking clip at the end closer to the lexus emblem, that is what i am talking about that could be holding it in place. ALso it could be siezed around the axle bearing, you might want to put some pb blaster.

Yes that should work but for safe measure, measure the size of that inner cv hub. Also see if autozone can loan it for you for free instead of spending money on something you may only use once.

Yeah its pretty known that the bearing seizes, maybe try to spray more pb blaster around that area you have pictured and let it settle for a day then try it. Throughout the day spray around the area. Good Luck!
