CV axle is broken, how do I replace it?

Hello, and thanks for your question!

Is the axle still held on by anything? You should make sure that it is straight coming out as you need to be equally as sure that it is straight going back in. Usually, I like to use a big pry bar, about 2ft at least, and pry against the axle where it meets the transmission. It should pop out. (See image 1).

You can also try raising both wheels in the air and having a helper turn the opposite side while pulling on it. Sometimes the snap ring gets in the way during installation/removal.

If this is the right side axle, this is actually a two-piece setup and you will need to remove 3 bolts holding a bracket to the engine (See image 2 and 3). Only then can you remove that side from the transmission.

Let us know if we can help any further, and feel free to send us pictures so we can have a clear idea of what we're working on.

Thanks,
William
