there is a snap ring on the inside of the shaft that gives it a bit of a lock in effect.

push the axles back in turn the shaft 1/4 turn and give it a gentle pry
do this many times and that ring should recenter and pop the axle out.

if you have been prying VERY hard against the housing and axle already you may have damaged that ring. if so be ready for 1 hell of a work out.

the last time i did this it took 2 hours per axle and a 4 foot prybar. i also started the engine and put the transmission in low and as it spun i pryed against it (this can damage the case and/or the transmission)

but what choice do you have.

i hope you can do it with the 1/4 turn trick.

Driving shaft is the vital part of vehicle. also known as 'propeller shaft' ;it is responsible for torque transmission.
