Here's the trick shaft has lock ring holding it in. Get a BIG screwdriver or better prybar. Place between trans housing and Cv joint taking care of seal then pry out. Give it a good pop

Thanks that helps a lot is it the same for both sides as the other side looks like it is going into another shaft under the engine into the gear box.
