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

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

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
