I have the steering knuckle/Hub off. The inboard boot on the passenger side CV axle released from tri-pot. I can't get tri=pot out of manual transaxle. How can i get it out so I can put the new axle in?

You should never pull on the axle itself to get those out. You have to get a very large pry bar that you can slip under the housing and use a very sharp "snapping" motion to pry it out.
