Default How to remove driver side axle shaft

Okay I need some experts or someone who’s done this before to help me out. I managed to get the passenger side axle shaft out by using a pry bar and prying it out, however I can’t do it on the driver side. There’s no little crack or opening for me to insert it and pry it out. Please anyone who’s done this before on an Acura integra tell me what to do.

I've used a punch and a 32 oz. hammer to remove the drivers side axle in the past. They've never given me much trouble, even when the set rings are new.

Yup, hammer the CV off the end of the intermediate shaft. A good heavy brass hammer and a spild hit will pop it loose in one swing.

Then you can unbolt the intermediate shaft off the block and it just slips out of the transmission.

I got the axle out but is there any way to get the axle hub out. I’m trying to get the whole thing out like how I did on the passenger side.

Hit the green area with a hammer in the direction of the red arrow.

That will remove the tripod joint from the splines on the intermediate shaft.

I got it out thanks to your method but I have one question. When I was taking it out this seal around it popped out a little. Should I be worried? Should I

try popping it back in place? Or what?
