1997 Nissan 200SX sec 2.0 can't remove dr side cv axle Sign In

1997 Nissan 200 SX sec, 99,000 miles
needs axle replacement and I am not able to get the drivers side axle out. The passenger side slid right out, but the driver's side to stuck. Any ideas? Downloaded a manual but the drive train/suspension chapter won't open on my computer.
Thanks!

It is locked in and has to be pried out with a very large pry bar.

Thank you! That worked. Now we are working on the lower ball joint. Top clip is off but ball joint not moving. Any ideas about how to get this out?

That may not come apart easily. Can't you remove the top bolts on the strut instead?

It is only connected to the lower control arm.

No, the top of the knuckle is bolted to the strut.

Make sure it's fully seated and locked into the trans.
