QUICK: driver side CV axle won't come out
 
What types of tools or thing did you people use to get the axle off. I have pry bar that's starting bend out of shape and the axle is not moving one bit. The passanger side is already off

dude get a flat head skrew driver and stick in inside the differential and pound on the other side of the axle it will come out...

ya I used a flat head screwdriver. Becareful not to damage the oil seal unless you are replacing it.

u cant damage a oil seal... just remember to get a long skrew driver and inserti it all the way until it sits right behind the shaft... you cant damage anything

its nice that I finnally got it out that I get whole bunch of replies but thanks anyway. I was really looking for confirmation on whether or not I could hammer it out from the other side. Its just that I saw black bar going down in the middle so I was scared.

I bent my pry bar to point where it was unusable and went to the ZONE and got a bigger and better pry bar and almost knocked my car off the jack stands and it poped out.

the black bar just separates the two shafts ... just go to the side of it and hit it with a hammer and a skrew driver
