I am trying to remove driversside half shaft, been prying on it applying alot of pressure but no release.. Is there a trick I forgot about?? Have shaft dangling but need release.

The only trick there is to it is the just get a bigger bar. They can be real tough to get out. Get the largest prybar that will fit under the housing and give it a real hard snapping action.

Sometimes using 2 bars, one on each side, helps because it pulls it out straighter

I second that! Constant hard pressure does not work well. Give it a few hard pops with a pry bar.

I would suspect you have more than a seal problem if that is leaking. Probably a bad bushing inside letting the shaft wobble around.
