removing CV driveshaft?

1990 Ford Tempo Automatic driver side CV shaft.
I have the shaft fully loose except for the in joint connected to the Trans.
I have tried pulling and even putting a cheater bar hooked to a chain and the Axle shaft for extra leverage.
i TRIED BUT CAN'T GET MUCH IF ANY LEVERAGE BETWEEN THE iNNER jOINT and the trans-- not enough room for any pry bars.
I thought I had to pull hard outward then use a pry bar between trany and inner joit and pop it off
Not working.
Is there any inner "pin that I have to get to with the trany oil pan off??
