Removing Half Shaft from Intermediate Shaft

[AK Thunder]

I'm in the process of changing out me driver side CV shaft(half shaft). My problem is I cannot separate it from the intermediate shaft.

I have access to motoralldata and ondemand5, haynes chiltons and the dealership repair manual and everything tells me i can take a prybar between them and separate them.
I'm using a 4 foot prybar and the fker will not come apart, this is really frustrating.

Does anyone know of a good way to separate these bastards from each other??
Or at least an easier way with the shaft still attached to the car, because I really don't want to have remove the entire assembly :/

I just did that today. I put the carrier Bearing in a vice and spun it around while tapping the old cv shaft with a hammer took about five minutes

so you did this with the whole assembly removed from the car then.. id rather not have to do that but if its my only way then I may have to go this route

Ya i pulled it all the way out of the transmission and unbolted the carrier bearing and pulled it out of the hub then put it in the vice with the part of the cv shaft that goes into the hub facing down towards the ground and spun the intermediate shaft while hitting the cv shaft end.

spun the intermediate shaft while hitting the cv shaft end.

sorry if this is a newb question, but how did you spin the intermediate shaft if you had the CV end in a vice?

I had the carrier bearing housing in the vice

haha! good luck with that
I cant wait till I can finally get these mechanical problems fixed with mine, other than the CVs and my trailing arm is boned, everything is perfect.
Then I can save up for a 1G or 2G manual that I can really start having fun with
