does the the cv joint come out of the drivers side where it goes into the transmission? I have tried for days to get it out and it wont budge and there is no info online...

What is your question?

I changed the passenger side no problem but when I went to change the drivers side, I cant get it out. I called a local garage and they told me to just get 2 pry bars behind it and apply even force and it would come out. I cant even get 2 bars behind it so that was in an issue. I called and asked someone else I know that works on cars and they told me that it doesnt come out and that even if I did get it out that it would knock down the spider gears and then I would have to replace the transmission so leave that piece in and just take that piece of the new axle and attatch the rest of it to the old one thats in there now. I have no cue what to do. Can I leave the old piece in the transmission or do I have to get that out? and if I do knock it out from the passenger side will I knock down the spider gears? What do I do here because prying does nothing? Thanks

What makes this problem better or worse?

It doesnt come out at all
