and if you do need a new cv axle be sure to bring your old one and it will drop the price big time
i got a brand new one for 68 bucks one time just for bringing the core

Dude.. wow. Not really your fault, CV axles are just supposed to pop out when you pry on them. Some can be ridiculously hard.. had a friend that couldn't get one out on a manual Tiburon trans.

Seems like a case of just extremely bad luck.

No worries, I work part time at the AutoZone that I get my parts from.

A little update:

A few whacks with a heavy hammer and the cv axle disconnected from the output/intermediate/center shaft (I've heard this thing called three different names, lol). I found the snap ring that was holding it into the transmission; it was laying on the ground, broken in a couple pieces. I can pop it in and out of the transmission ok. I just need to find a snap ring to replace the broken one so it will stayy inside the transmission. The snap ring on the other side of the shaft that holds the cv axle on is ok.

I'd love a better pic, but I'd be shitting bricks if I pulled an axle and saw that. Nice to see that it's no big deal though.

Remove the diff cover and stub output shaft from the other side and reinstall the snap ring and shaft you'll be alright I've seen this a few times before.
