There is a circlip on the end of the spline shaft that goes into the diff. Make sure it is accounted for on either end. In my case, it stayed inside the diff instead of on the shaft. This is what you are trying to fight as you pull off the shaft.
Reassemble by popping it back in.

For my 96, it does not have roll pins on the rear CVs - only the front. You need to take a large prypar, land it on one of the screw heads (not on the housing) and then pop the CV off.

Good to know. I have got to do some stuff to mom's 98 coming up in the spring.

Good info JPX, thanks. Just curious, did your circlip stay in place ready to accept the new shaft, or did it fall down into the differential housing and have to be fished out?
