Does anyone rebuild axles?
-
My axles are seized into the hubs of my M3 and I have been having the worst of luck getting them out. The first attempt was by hand and I bent the puller rod. I have since removed the entire trailing arm assembly and dragged them into two shops so far. The first with a 20 ton press and then the second with a 150 ton press to no avail. They now have been soaking in a bath of kroil oil for the past 3 weeks at hopes the 150 ton press will finally be enough to save my axles. Worst case scenario and last resort I burn them out. So my question is... .Will I need to buy a whole new/refurbished set of axles or does someone know where I can either have them rebuilt or buy just the outer CV housings with the splines?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Holy crap a 150 ton couldn't get them out? If 3 weeks of kroil doesn't get them out my life is a lie, that stuff is amazing. I'd check the bimmerforums classifieds if you do end up wrecking them, someone is always parting out an e36 m3 that you could pick up axles from.
