The joint cannot be removed. Do not attempt to remove the joint, you can severely damaged the joint, which will require a new axle.

Buy a new aftermarket axle and install it. It's the fastest, cheapest alternative.

P.S. Honda does not sell the joint separately.

we removed the inner joint.. your right the outer one does not come off..

how much would this axle cost aftermarket if we did damage it?

CV joints are like $65 after you bring back the core.
