i pull atleast 1 set of axles daily. yesterday i removed 3 sets
HI, there is a large snap ring inside holding the shaft into the transmission. You should be able to access it from the outside by pulling the boot off.
good luck

The inner axle has a big tough snap ring inside the transmission. You need to figure out a way to *pry the inner CV joint outwards with a short crow-bar or wonder-bar.
Find a solid place to on the half-shaft to hammer it out. If not, get something that will grab a hold of it and yank on it.
The year , make, and model may help us figure this out. Are there no clips or retaining items holding this shaft in place?
