Is the trans an Auto? If you didn't call SVXfiles like he suggested??

What I assume he was going to tell you is that if you pry it out, the stub that is stuck in the axle will pop out of the trans. They act much like how the rear axle's pop out from the rear diff. Once you get the trans out, you can remove the axle from the car and get it on a workbench to properly drill out the pin. The stub can then be popped right back in with a deadblow or a hammer and 2X4.
