Removing axle using a slide hammer
« on: March 31, 2021, 14:34:18 »
Can both left and right axles be pulled using a slide hammer or do I need to remove the housing that has the rubber boot on it?

You do not need to remove the rubber boot.

Thanks good to hear since I might have to change out the backing plate gasket
