Hey everyone I got a 69’ Dodge Dart parts car that has a 3.91 489 sure grip that I want out of it. Pulled the drivers side axle no problem at all, passenger side will not come out, been at it for hours, resorted to beating on it with a hammer, 5 ft pry bar etc, all 5 nuts are off, it looks like the bearing is packed with dirt, sand from the sandblaster and rust, any recommendation on how to get it out? I just want this carrier!!! Thanks in advance, I’ve never had this issue with any of the other 8 3/4s I’ve done.

put the drum on backwards with the lug nuts on backwards just enough so the stud(s) threads are flush with the end(s) of the nuts & use it as a slide hammer.

Maybe borrow a slide hammer from a friend or do the loaner tool from a parts house. Being a retired tech I have my own. Tim

Since the drivers side axle is out, shove a broomstick in until it bottoms out against the pass axle end and give it a whack.
Edit.....forgot about the thrust button, this won't work

tie a cable to the reversed brake drum, or wrap with cable around drum
tie cable to 4x4
drive away FAST with a BIG jerk. (that is a 'tug', not an idiot in the 4x4 with you lol )

^ I could imagine a car falling off axle stands here.
Has this axle seen slicks? Spline could be twisted.

If that is a real 8 3/4 A body housing you should find a good home for it. I agree, I will provide a very good home for it, lots of love & nurturing .
