03 Cavalier passenger side cv shaft problems

Hello all,

Hopefully somebody can help me out. I am trying to replace the cv shaft on the passenger side of an 03 cavalier. I have the wheel hub out of the way and the shaft is ready to come out(To my knowledge), but it seems to be stuck. I have already done this procedure on the drivers side of my 89 tracer, and all it needed was a little tug. I have nearly pulled my arms out of my sockets with this one but to no avail. I was hoping somebody might have an idea, or know something about newer cars that I don't.

Thanks for any help.

I hope your not just yanking on them to get them to pull out. You'll pull them right apart. Go rent yourself a slide hammer and autozone sells a FWD axle puller adapter to pop the shafts out and release the internal lock. Also get a pan ready to catch tranny fluid. Or you can use a pry bar, just don't damage the seals or you'll have to replace them.
