986 driveshaft spline hopelessly stuck

[piper6909]

I haven't tried it on my 986 yet, but I imagine it's not much different than other cars.

If you have a compressor, I've had good luck with a Harbor Frieght air hammer and pointed bit right into center hole of the axle.

I hope you didn't flare the end of the axle when you beat on it with a mallet. If so, you may want to grind it down, before you try to push it back.

Here's an extreme case, but I doubt yours is this bad.

Good luck!
