There is a special tool to take these type of axles out, it is a slide hammer with a large "C" shaped fixture, you may be able to rent one, not sure though.

When you installed, you may have messed up the "C" clip that holds the axle in the transmission (bent it).

You can pry the axle out with a large screwdriver, prying on the tripod joint against the differential housing.

The differential on this car uses a seperate lubricant supply, so be sure to fill up the differential with lubricant (Dextron III).
