Does anybody know who he is talking about? Or maybe know where that thread is located because that sounds like the problem i am having.

I have already tried doing this even though ill try doing it again. The problem with a pry bar is the edge is so small that it keeps slipping off. I thought of putting a wrench or picklefork around it to pry it off. the wrench was too thick and i have yet to try the picklefork.

I thought of using the slide hammer with this attachment (see URL) but when i went to autozone they said they have never seen that piece before and i looked in the store and on the loaner tools page that they have in the store and didnt see it.

I tried that using a long screwdriver and a pretty decently sized hammer and it didnt budge. I feel like i might mess up something in the transmission if i try any harder and believe me i hit that shit hard. and what do you mean by that second part?

If that is true then is there anything in the g20 transmission that would make an axle difficult to pull out because it feels like there is a keeper stopping it or something of that sort. I havent been able to try since i posted this because of school work and regular work but hopefully i will be able to get to it in the next couple days. If i keep having troubles i will post a video of what im talking about. Thanks everybody for your input.
