Re: 39 Coupe Broken Axle Removal.
Phil, Yes, there is no reason not to do the job that way, quick and easy. I've also done it with and without a spring spreader, preferably with, but not a big deal without. Drolston has the correct method without a spreader.
The end of the keyway is definitely the weak link. Inspect that area closely for cracks in the replacement axle. No way to determine 16 or 18 tooth axle until you get it out, so don't buy a single axle till you know which one you need.
