CV Axle replacement. - Toyota Yaris Forums

I had the same problem getting the axle out of the transmission. Lacking any proper prying/pulling tools, here was my final solution: I tied two cords (ropes) around the axle between the tulip and transmission for a balanced pull; threaded the cord through the axle hole in the rotor with the rotor mounted in place (if I were to repeat this, I would put something in to protect the cord from fraying); used a scissor jack to create tension in the cord, protecting the rotor and lug nuts with 2x4 blocks; tap on the tulip with a hammer. Pop! It was beautiful (after hours of frustration)!

Please tell me you took a picture of this contraption. It sounds super pic-worthy!
