^ lol...should have been transmission fluid, and yea, it will definately happen if you don't drain it first!
....I did the same thing my first time lol
My first ~7 cv axels all had to be pulled with a slide pull hammer, and I still feel that's the best way to do it without damaging anything, but these last few I finally found out it is possible to pull them with a prybar.
The harbor freight prybars are all I use, except a flatbar from who knows where 20 years ago sometimes.. anyway I just hit one of the forks on the HF bar with a grinder to smooth it out a little, and wedge it in behind the cv. Once your sure the cv is pulled out to the point the c clip is touching the spider gear in the transmission, smack the end of the prybar really good a few times like your driving it in behind the cv cup. That will break the grip the c clip has and it will pull out freely. No need for using 2 prybars or 3 Germans and a Mexican holding their tongues right.
