I did it last night, you have to unscrew the lower ball joint and pop the knuckle off of it and that gives you enough space to slide it past. I had to pop three of The bolts on the side shaft side of the diff off to get it past them...used a 5 lb sledge and a few good wacks with my 1/5 in. Extensions. Good luck

No worries brotha, glad I could help.
Last night I was starrting to think that my suspention might be bent or something cuz I juust COULD NOT get it out. I got so mad I ended up grinding my old cv in half just to pull it out haha before I drank a beer and started at it again with a clear head. Didn't realize the ball joint needed to be loosened until in was doin install but whatev, I was gonna replace it all anyways, and I work in my garage with VERY limited tools
