This isn't real technical, but I was having problems removing the CV from the car at PNP, and I simply had to grab the shaft in between the two boots and jerk and shake out away from the differential. Time was ticking down and I was stressed and desperate and it wouldn't budge. I just grabbed, pulled, wiggled and shook and out it finally came.
Go figure.....
