1989 Geo Prizm Front Wheel Drive Automatic 190000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I cant get either of the cv axles to pop out i have tired using a gear shaft puller and a slide hammer but have had no luck i have even used come along and placed a cable around the backside of the axle and pulled and they still wont pop out. So i dont know if there is something else that needs to be disconnected or if its just going to take more prying. I do have the cv axles free of the everything else so the only thing i can figure that is holding them are the little clips on the ends. If there is something im missing or a better way of removing them could you let me know? Thank you.

Use two prybars and pop it out...it sounds like the retaining ring may be damaged...they do just pop out tho!
