I've been recently hearing a loud metal like bang/clunk whenever I hit a decent bump or cycle the suspension coming from the left rear. I tried pulling the left rear shaft and it's insanely stuck. I've tried everything from pry bars and axle pullers and it still won't budge. I've wheeled it for about a year and have always used technique over throttle. I know bent housing can cause this but I figured maybe someone knows something else to try. 2010 rubicon..stock shafts..37s

 

More pics app only lets one at a time

 

 

Slide hammer should do it.

 

Tried it and nothing.

 

Hard to tell, but is it taking the whole brake shoe assembly with it?

 

It's not moving at all. The ebrake shoes are on the piece with the dust shield which is loose and movable.

 

Slide hammer has worked for me before. Your splines could be twisted and just won't break free. Keep going at it. It will at some point come out.

Try mounting your tire on the shaft and use the tire to create more leverage? Just an idea...

 

Twisted splines are my gut feeling..I'll keep trying the slide hammer tomorrow

 

When I changed rear shafts it was suggested to me to keep the rotor on the shaft with loose lug nuts and use the rotor as a slide hammer. Worked like a charm for me, but I didn't have twisted splines.
