With my super human abilities to reach through solid materials and grasp object within...... Ok, so the clip will remain in the transmition after the axle is forced out with the pick a fork and simply clip back in when the axle is reinserted? Sorry for the seemingly simple questions, but i have a minimum understanding of this part of the job.

The C clip is at the end of the axle. It is what locks the axle inside the tranny.
Once you pop the axle out of the tranny, you can then access the C clip, which should still be on the axle.

I used a pic a fork
Actually, it depends on the differential, but if you pull the extender shaft out then you can use a brass drift to tap it out, or at least help tap it out from the other side since there is space all the way through the factory diff other than the pin. The torsen has a small hole, about 3/8" that a slender punch can be put through. I have a few quality punches that can be used to go through the hole, but mostly I just get a big pry bar and and a large screwdriver and try to pop the axle from two sides by prying against it on the housing. They two prying instruments end up being about 120 degrees apart due to the trans housing shape, but you get the point. Two parts seem to work better than one.

I don't know anything. All I know is what I learn from CEG and from forcing myself to do my own 3L swap.
Before my 3L swap, I didn't know how to change oil.

Is that the same thing as the intermediate shaft? Warmonger is the last person I would have thought to call it an "extender" shaft.

All this shaft talk is exciting toddles! When I looked thru at the stock diff thru the case I really didn't think that ANY tool could get thru there to the axle..now on a quaife or a torsen I fig no prob, but I didn't think that this was the case with Josh's car so I just stated the above about not being able to go on thru...

When I pulled the axles on my car, I used and axle pulle from autozone. It's basically a slide hammer with a "claw" attachment. You place the claw between the trans case and cv joint and slide the hammer repeatedly until it pops out. Make sure you have a 32MM axle nut socket, you can get those from autozone too.
