I'm going to try renting a slide hammer tomorrow to try. Assuming I get that end out, what exactly do I need to do to get the axle out of hte differential? The Bentley book says "pry inboard CV joint out of front differential or bearin pedestal. Since I assume I need to reuse the joint sprint clip, I don't to damage that somehow when prying this out. Tips? Thanks!
