Default CV Axle - shaft stuck?

I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer LT that needs it's passenger side CV axle replaced. I removed the previous one but part of the shaft is still stuck into the differential? I took pictures of the new CV axle I purchased as well what I could remove from the vehicle. Any thoughts on how I can get that other section removed? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The part of the shaft that is still in the diff is held in by a snap ring. You need to figure out a way to pull it out as straight as possible. Possibly welding an eye bolt onto the end and using a come-along or winch to pull it out? Drill and tap the end and insert a bolt or eye screw? Maybe even try using an old school dent puller?

That is part of the fun (or pain) of doing the work yourself. When things don't come apart/go together as designed, figuring out a solution yourself can be rewarding or a hair pulling, wrench throwing episode. Usually both if you do end up succeeding!

Good luck and let us know what you end up doing and how it worked out for you.
