[minjiet]

Hi, i need some help. Is anyone know how to separate the dark grey part

(Steering Wheel Hub 3 Pin Round) from the Steering Portal Axle, Housing? if got video, will be better. tq

We had a thread on this recently, but if you didn't know the part numbers you probably wouldn't have noticed. I'm sure a mod will merge this thread into that one soon enough.

As for me, I've used the back (flat) end of a butter knife to separate them and it works with no problems. Slide it in to the centre of the hub and then lever the hub away from the portal axle along the length of the knife. A decent amount of force is required but no damage has come from it with ~10 axles disassembled.

You can try to pry out with two orange LEGO brick separators or automobile panel removal kit:
