Recently purchased DSS axles for my tC but for the life of me I can't get the dam bracket off the old passenger side axle to put on the new axle. I've searched around but haven't found any explanation as to how to remove the bracket. I'm not talking about the two bolts that hold it to the frame....that's been done. I've also removed the two bolts that attach the bracket to the actual axle as well but still doesn't budge. I've tried everything, PB Blast, BMF Hammer but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

The bearing might be seized to the bracket. You might have to take the whole axle with the bracket to a shop to get it pressed out.

 

Thank you for the advice! I actually bought a brand new one from the dealership cause I thought about it and since I'm putting new axles in might as well keep everything new.

 

I was going to suggest that also, to purchase a whole new bracket seeing as it's easier and shops might charge you just as much on labor as it is for the bracket.
