OK so I ended up taking everything off on the passenger side and bought a slide hammer. I removed the passenger side drive axle so I could replace the boot (RTV wasn't working). Only thing is I now have a straight shot to the intermediate shaft and was really pounding on it. The shaft would not go into the transaxle, period. So now I want to take it out, try realigning it, and pushing it in... trouble is the turd won't come out now. How would one remove this shaft, there really isn't anything to pry on as the y-pipe is pretty much blocking everything except the entrance to the diff. I also can't see a way to use the slide hammer since there isn't anything to connect it to. There is just the spline and clip ring at the outer end.
Ideas?
