Okay, I got it off, the roll pin was stuck but it came out, Now I have to dissasemble the joints. Do I just screw the axel out of them? I am mechanically unsound on foriegn cars, I used to work on trucks so this is geting me flustered.

PS, I searched and read everything I could and found a few articles saying It needs to be done by using force, but it doesn't seem to be working, where the cv joint meets the transmission there is about 2 millimeters of play so it makes me think there is a locking mechanism. I want to punch my car in the face right now.

I can not get the inboard CV joint to disconnect from the transmission, I have everything disassembled and the axel is free, but it wont release from the transmission, I am trying to replace my inboard boot which has been slit for to long now. My subb is an 87 GL hatchback 4 wheel drive. I deliver pizzas and am a student so I could really use the help before I miss to much work and have to spend the bucks, not that I really care about work.
