I've removed the entire wheel assembly, knuckle, everything. I cannot get any pry bar in to pop out cv axle. Car is on Jack's and stands so lifting it higher isn't an option. How do I go about removing? If going to share a video please share one that some what resembles the car I'm working on so it's relevant. Thanks

Alright job is done! Thanks! Autozone had the slide hammer and attachment for cv axle was $65 deposit or something pretty cheap.
