Once removing the axles of Toyota axio and then replacing them, the transmission is getting damaged. Couple of people are having this problem. Any suggestions why this might be happening?

I usually hold a small hammer against the side of the trans to act asa pivot, then engage a prybar into the notch in the axle stub and just pop it out.

There is a little spring loaded clip on the end of the axle in the trans. Just uses a pry bar against the trans housing and inner axle joint to pop the axle out.

There is a small "circlip"holding the axle in place. Place a pry bar between the cv joint and the transmission and pry the axle out with a sharp snapping movement. This should pop the axle loose from the "circlip". The steering wheel can be turned to gain more working room. Tell those guys to lay off the heat. Hopefully no damage was done and they will be able to get the new axles in without too much trouble. Merry Christmas.

Assuming you have the spindle off - you need a pry bar between the inner mount and the transaxle. Give it a bit of a snap as it is held in with a lock ring around the spline. Note the gap - when replacing it - pop it in fairly well till you feel the snap ring lock back into position. If you are replacing it - inspect the new one - the lock ring should already be installed.
