How to Remove Half-shafts 1992 Park Ave

I have a 92 Park Ave and I need to replace the one inner CV joint so I will probably buy a rebuilt drive shaft unit. Question - how is the inner CV joint unit held into the transmission? How is it fastened in and how can it be removed? Thanks

It is held in place with a small ring...I'd say snap ring which is pretty close..but snap ring tends to conjure up images of something that needs a special tool in order to release it.

All you have to do on these shafts is to either pry the inner joint out (left side) or give it a smack with a hammer (right side). The difference in methods is due to clearance problems on the left side. You will see what I mean, once you actually take a look.

On the left side, it is often necessary to use two pry bars and rock the joint a bit back and forth as you pry it out. You will feel it when the snap ring pops out...it's fairly obvious.
