I am trying to get the output shaft out of the driver side of the 4t65, it's sticking out about 2 inches and I cannot get it out. I've tried prying and jabbing at it with a breaker bar, but my vice grips keep sliding off. Its very loose in that it wobbles from side to side. The inside of the axle has the female splines on it which makes me wonder if it even comes out. Does it?
I found this picture which seems to suggest it does not.
