undo the 36mm (i think) nut on the axle shaft. make sure the axle shaft will push through the bearing at this point and isnt stuck. then undo your ball joint from the knuckle. this will give you room to pull the knuckle outwards and get that side of the cv shaft out. next take a prybar and gently pry your cv shaft out of the trans if nessasary. i belive there are some good key placdes to pry from. make sure the snap ring comeso ut with the cv shaft and make sure when you installed the new one you the snap ring seats.
