The hardest job I have ever done on a car was a drive axle on my 2000 Toyota Camry V6. It was the passenger side. On my car, it is slip into trans with a carrier bearing farther outboard. Yeah... Those suckers can be frozen in at the carrier. Mine was. Slide hammer didn't budge it.
I thought I had it when I cut the drive axel between the trans and carrier twice, and could bang it out. Nope. Not enough space to whack it hard enough. Finally I removed the carrier mount from the engine (A PITA TOO).
I then tried to pound on it again, but at the time my vise was not yet mounted. Finally, I dropped what was left of the axel and the carrier to the concrete from over my head several times. It popped out after that.
