gtr sump remove axle tube

Hey guys,

I picked up another r32 gtr sump the other day with hi octane sump. The axle tube that runs through the sump for the front wheels has been damaged (has a hole in it, and you can see the axle moving inside if you rotate it).

Does anyone know if the axle tube running through the sump can be removed? Looks like it might just be a press fit, have seen a few rwd sumps on the net with it missing, so I assume you can. 

I want to swap the tube over with my existing sump.

Cheers.

I think I just knocked it out when I did a sump conversion.  Wasn't difficult to remove but that was a few years ago now.

have someone remove the extra weight by pulling the axle while you knock it out
look closely at the axle near the diff and you'll see a groove where you can knock it out
i used a real my large screw driver

mine wouldn't knock out until i had someone pulling on the axle at the same time
