need some help!, done search found nothing that will help Options

OK, hey im in the proccess of pulling out my 7afe auto (broken rod/piston on number 3) i have the hayens manual and have done a number of searches on this forum, ihave looked at many "swap"threads, and nothing i have tryed has allowed me to "just pull out the axles"

front knuckles are off,
lower control arms are off
axles are hanging (being suspended w/ some rope)

ive had seafoam's deepcreep sprayed down the back (between the axle and the diff)
ive tryed the manuals suggestion of using a prybar to gently seporate the axle from the diff, wich only resulted with it slipping off and damaging the boot.
ive tryed 'just pull them straight out" as suggested by a few on the threads i pulled up wile doing a search.. there was some play but the axles definatly did not pull out, and i was affrade of seperating the axle from its base (feels like there is no stop twords the front of the axle as i pull back)

any help would be greatly apriciated


also how are you all getting to the back motor mount? i can get all but that one unbolted....

plz help!!!

thanx for all the help guys!! unfortunatly i was still not able to remove any of the axles, ima try to get the motor out with them still attached, but its a tight fit.. i think what i may do is remove the boot from the inner CV-joint and just pull it out and leave the splined end in the diff (just to pull it out of the car) and then just reclamp it after i get the splined end out, i FINALY have it ready and almost out.. damn.. 15 year old car is a bitch to get out w/o breaking and bolts or messing up any threads. lol SEAFOAM's DEEP CREEP FTW!!!! i LOVE that Stuff!!
