W211 4-Matic Front Passenger Axle HELP !!
Need help with getting the passenger side front axle out. I changed the drivers side already and while it was a PITA, you could atleast get to it where it connects to the diff. The passenger side is just completely hidden by the frame. The axle came apart at the CV joint when trying to remove it (the boot was ripped), so all that is left is that part of the CV joint going into the diff. There is a compression ring (for lack of a better term) on the shaft where it goes into the diff, I have a feeling the splines it has to get inside of have a very squared off edge. I've tried all I have access to, ordered an easy puller (slide hammer with vise grip) to give a try, but it'll be a few days getting here.
ANY help greatly appreciated.
