    Got the AX5 on the bench to start the rebuild. I am stuck on one part. I am pulling the front housing from the intermediate plate. All bolts are off, but i have an issue. The housing will pull off about an inch and then stop. There is a casting on the front housing that holds the end of a shaft and the center bottom counter shaft hits this casting when pulling the cover off. I have the factory manual and it doesnt indicate this and it says it should pull right off. Anyone with experience with this?

    Still having the problem but i may have found it out. i pulled the rear housing and still cant get the front off. There is a stud in the front housings that goes all the way out. i believe if i can remove the stud i can twist the front housing off. I need to go get another nut for the stud so i can lock the two nuts and then try to spin the stud out of the housing. So i will see if it works tomorrow, i believe it should.
