rear axle not coming off.
I'm trying to take the rear axle off my B3. Took the 6 bolts off, pulled like hell, but it's not coming off. Tried to pull it in many different ways, but it seems stuck in there... any ideas? TIA!

I hit all around the side of the joint... the heavy steel section... rotate it as you hit.
The CV joints are tough as hell... so don't be afraid to REALLY hit one on the side to loosen it up. The rear input shaft can be a bitch to get loose. IIRC, the last time I pulled the center driveshaft off a rear diff it took a lot of hitting to get it to come off.
