I built a slide hammer out of some pipe and made the slide about 20 lb slide. I cut a notch out of steel plate to make it look like a heavy duty version of the cv adapter. I put it on and hit about 5-6 times as hard as i could and it finally popped off with stub shaft still attached. Like the other post, I cut the boot put it in a vise and hammered it out. This was after two days of prying on it with everything i could

just a quick tip for you guys trying to replace the cv axles, i was cussing up and down today to try and get mine out. I ended up cutting the passenger cv axle in half and then it slid right off but, to install the new one i unbolted the upper control arm and that allowed to whole wheel assembly to "fall" further away from the axle shaft coming out of the diff. I had plenty of clearance and it made my life a heck of a lot easier, getting the axle shaft out is a different story i had to grind a groove into the passenger one and jam my pry bar into the groove, the driver side i haven't had any luck yet as you can see! The cv split in half and the boot ripped, so i've got the cv cup still stuck on the axle shaft. I was trying anything to get it off. Any Pointers?
