For full disclosure, I ran the car in the garage and ran the transmission through all the gears, letting the clutch barely engage in each gear before going to the next. I'd be worried I might have damaged the axle shaft hole while prying out the axle, but I did that on the OTHER side. What does the hive mind say? I'm pretty tired of working on this thing.
