How to remove front drive shaft

2003 Envoy XL SLT 4WD V8, how do I get the front drive shaft out.I am trying to change the seal in the front differencial.

Where is the problem? unbolt the ft u' joint clamps, pry the dr shaft out of the transfer case, do not pull it out you could seperate the cv joint.

just making sure,because there are no bolts or anything on the end of the transfer case. I guess it's called a cardone driveshaft. here is a picture.

Cardone is the company that remanufactures these shafts, maybe you mean a cardan joint at the transfer case end.

Have you actually pulled one out of an envoy??? is there a special tool?? I don't want to brake or bend anything, plus there wasn't a whole lotta room under there.sorry, just keep thinking it's the 80's and something as simple as a driveline would be no problem (and that you need 5 specialty tools and 5 hours to change a seal in a front differental). thanks

The rear splined portion of the shaft should pry/pull out of the transfer case just like any drive shaft, just as I said don't pull on the front side of the cv joint.
