Andy, You can NOT get the axle out with out a lot of disassembly. I had a cracked axle on my 29 Roadster. I took the rear end completely off then took drive shaft off while rear end apart, then too transmission all apart while the drive shar was off, then took the clutch out while transmission was out and then replaced pressure plate, gears, U-joint, differential gears, axles, had spring leaves sand blasted, new brakes, DONE! took me about 3 months to complete but soooo glad I did. Had a great time and learned an awful lot. Was lucky I belong to a club that the members are knowledgeable AND willing to help. Good luck and it is a lot of fun. These are great cars.
