Either two pry bars to yank it out straight, or - my new favorite method - slide hammer and metal string. Try to get it with just a single pry bar, and you'll be there all day cursing everything around you.
There's a C-clip in there and that requires a good jerk to remove. But, if you pinch it, it won't move, hence why you need to pull it perpendicular to the transmission as much as possible. Autozone loaner 5lb slide hammer, and a piece of sturdy rope or metal wire, come out on first yank. Don't bother with their "CV axle" adapter, it's total crap that hardly fits on any CV joints. |
