Can't get C V axle out of a 96 ford Escort

I got a 96 ford escort and everything is out of the way and ready for the cv axle to be pulled out but it's jammed into the transmission. I can pull it out just a hair then it stops like its got a pin or something holding it in. I have looked for over 2 hours for a pin or circlip and there isn't one. I have taken a cv axle out of a 91 ford probe and it pulled right out of the transmission this one here just will not come out.

More force is needed, prybar of some kind. I do not know about your specific car but some Fords do not recommend that both axles be pulled out at the same time so beware.........

I'm having the same problem with my '94 Escort. The driver-side axle doesn't have enough room to get in there and pry with anything. How do you get it out of the side of the transmission?
