I need to replace my CV axles. Actually, the boots are bad, and the joints seem fine, but I'm afraid the task of taking apart the joints to replace the boots will be more than I want to do. So i picked up some CV axles from napa last weekend. I had the car up on the lift with the outer joint disconnected from the hub, and I couldn't separate the inner joint from the tranny! I tried prying on the tulip, like illustrated in the BGB, but to no avail. Also, prying against the tranny seems like a bad idea. Anyone have any hints as to how to get that thing out? I only tried the drivers side and failed, so i didn't even attempt the passenger side.....
BTW, the dealership wants $580 to replace the boots  in case you were wondering.

look closely where you but the pry bar. you unbolted the half shaft part right!?!?! also try tapping from the wheel hub side of the axle then prying it out.
another thing is turning the axle and prying in different places. my pass. side was PITA also. and yes replace seals. -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
