Default Need help with front axle removal

I have a 07 sportsman 500 x2,I had a clicking or popping coming out of the front right front end when turning. Noticed the inner boot clamp was off and the grease gone.I have taken it apart, but the only piece i cannot get off is the last part where it goes in the front diff.It is the "cup" that has the shaft on the end that goes in the diff. It will not pullout for nothing, do you have to take the diff. apart to get it out. Also when i do get it out is it better to rebuild the axle or get a new one and where is a good place to get these parts? thanks

spray betwwen the diff and the cup real good with wd -40, usually a good sharp yank will get it out, there is a c-clip that holds the axle in the diff, I have a slide hammer and a small chain that just fits around the cup your talking about, have had to use that on some, they can be a pain , as for parts you can get a complete axle from the cv man 800-338-2326, cheaper than you can buy the cv joint from polaris, he's also got a store on ebay

If you catch it soon enough you can just replace the boot. I pulled the rear off and took all of the bearings out, cleaned everything, put new boot and grease on and been riding it for a year + with no more clicking.
