CV boot replacement problem

In the middle of pulling my axles to replace CV Boots and am stuck. I have broken the toe link and axle strut joints with no problem but can't get the axle strut joint out of the bottom of the hub carrier. It is loose but doesn't have the range of motion to push it out. I tried jacking up the hub and the axle strut just rides up with it. Any suggestions?

Did this a few weeks ago. Had to pop the lowest "ball joint", then the rear most that goes to the track rod. Mark the cam adjusters with a sharpie before you loosen the inboard ones. Also had to remove the up/down bolt that goes through the track rod, then they swung out enough to let the axels comeout. You did remove the aluminum pan under the tranny and the two long stiff aluminum braces.

I just did mine a couple of weeks ago as well. I had to also disconnect the track arm and remove the Cam bolt to get it to move enough. Definitely mark the cam. I pulled a dumb one and forgot. It was a hairy ride to the shop for the alignment. Luckily it was only about 5 miles away.
