G37x sedan cv axle help

What's up everyone so my axle started making a clicking noise. front passenger, the boot was torn for a while so it was time to replace the axle. I got everything off caliper rotor coilovers and got the axle freed from the Hub can anyone give me advice or tell me how to remove the axle from the diff I tried prying it out and wouldn't move advice ?

Were you able to get a tool in there like in the photo? Was it just seized in there? Maybe try again with a wider pry tool which should give extra leverage. Or perhaps impact to the pry tool, but use caution so you don't damage the front diff.

Use a larger pry bar or long screw driver in the same spot and slowly increase force until it pops out.

It shouldn't make any difference that only one side is jacked up, however that doesn't give you much room to work..
