Hello All -

I've been lurking for a while - this is a great forum, thanks.

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice:

I'm in the middle of replacing the passenger side CV axle on my 2006 Pilot and it just will not come out of the transmission. I've tried prying it (there's very little room to get a pry bar in there though), hitting it from the back side, tugging on it - nothing is budging it.

I've replaced these on my past Hondas and never had a problem. Am I missing a snap ring or something? It certainly doesn't look like there's anything holding it in there...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's my wife's car so the faster I get it back on the road the better

Thanks,

Jello

Thanks carguy07 for the reply and the service manual page.

I did finally get it out. It was very helpful to know that I wasn't approaching it the wrong way.

For anyone who has this problem in the future, this is what I had to do:

I cut the boot at the transmission side of the axle and removed the axle, only leaving the part that mates with the transmission / intermediate shaft. Then I removed the heat shield (3x 12mm bolts - very hard to get to). With that out of the way I was able to use the curved part of a crow bar to pry it out. It took a surprising amount of force to get it to go.

Thanks again for the help.
