Default Stuck! Front CV shafts!!!

2005 ram 4.7l 4x4. Replacing the front CV shafts and they are stuck in the front differential. Any help or tricks I can use to free them up.

I think there is a spot to put a pry bar on to pop them out. You don't just grab it with your hands and pull. A1 auto has a youtube video I used as reference a few years ago for changing hubs on my 1500.
