AWD driveshaft removal?

So, these are like any CV axle they have a C clip that holds the axle into the transmission or differential. Use a large pry bar to help "pop" the CV joint from the drive hub. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

Thanks for the info. I think I will have to get some photos as the axle shaft process makes perfect sense, but I don’t see how it relates in the driveshaft scenario. I feel a slight bit of flex if I pry at the rear (near differential), but there doesn’t seem to be any flex at the transaxle end. I’m thinking if I remove the center bearing bolts and with a jack allow the shaft to hang at that point, it might make it possible to give enough space to pry out from the rear end. If that happens, I guess it would just be pull out from transaxle as well. There are no obvious bolts or “U” joints to remove at either end.

Yep, no U joints just use a large pry bar to "pop" the CV axle out. let me know if you need any more help with the job, we are here.
