Question
removal of passanger cv joint.....  cv joint is stuck inside transaxle.. try uing a screwdriver and pry bar to remove but unsuccessful please help.... any advice or tricks...

Answer
David,

The CV joint on the passenger side has a bearing that holds the long shaft up and it is between the transaxle.  There are three bolts that hold the shaft on the bearing and those have to be removed.  No need to pry as it will come out once these three bolts have been removed.  When you are under the car look up and you will see the bearing case that I am describing about half way between the transaxle and the outer CV boot.
