I have not yet been able to pry the right drive shaft out of the
transaxle case. Looking at the smallness of the retainer ring, I
think it should be easy.

Is there a trick I am missing? I follow the instructions in the Shop
Manual.

Should the pry bar be vertically under the drive shaft? Is a long pry
bar required? I am working the my driveway so I do not have a lift.

Is a very strong force required?

Thank you very much for all your suggestions.

Sometimes the driveshafts will not come out easily. You'll want to hav
the pry bar between the transmission differential housing and the joint
if you're not doing that already. The only thing I can suggest if this i
not working is a bigger pry bar.

I've actually done a couple transmission replacements where I never wa
able to remove the driveshaft from the transmission. I eventually too
the inner joint apart and sent the inner joint back with the ol
transmission, putting a new inner joint on the vehicle
