might have to take the other axle out and get a long screwdriver or something like that and bang on it from the other side to pop it lose. or try getting a long pry bar and using it on the drivers side axle.

Screwdriver and/or prybar and a Ford wrench (really big hammer).

hope this helps

18 Remove the inner tripod joints from the side gears of the transaxle using a punch to dislodge the inner tripod joint retaining ring from the transaxle side gear. If removing the right side inner tripod joint, position the punch against the inner tripod joint. Strike the punch sharply with a hammer to dislodge the right inner joint from the side gear. If removing the left side inner tripod joint, position the punch in the groove of the inner tripod joint. Strike the punch sharply with a hammer to dislodge the left inner tripod joint from the side gear.
