Rear Axle shafts seized
#12
I have not tried... I would do the backwards rotor but mine are brand new slotted and drilled rotors. I'm soaking over night to see if that helps. If not tomorrow I don't know what to do

Had the same problem. Use a very large ply bar and apply outward pressure on the axle flange. At the same time have someone use the slide hammer. The seal is stuck in the tube and flexes enough that the slide hammer alone cannot pop it free. Having the pressure from the pry bar allows the slide hammer to do its job.

If your getting frustrated and it can wait till tomorrow walk away and come back at it when you got a clear mindset. I've done this plenty of times with my dragster otherwise you'll just make it worse or mash you hand beating on it
