CV joints (constant velocity) have three main componants. The outer hub (the piece nearest the wheel) the outer hub (attached to the drive shaft) and the planetary bearings (the "y" or "+" shaped piece) that sits between the two hubs. The centre nut on the end of the drive shaft needs to be removed . The Brake caliper will need to be removed theouter hub can now be knocked through the main wheel bearing housing. Where the rubber gaiter is fixed to the outer hub, break the clip that holds it in place an peel the gaiter back, it should slide up the drive shaft quite easily. If not break the clip at the small end of the gaiter and then slide it along the shaft. At the rear of the INNER hub (once the grease it cleaned off) you should be able to see the retaining clip Use circlip pliers to open the clip and hit the hub with a copper hammer. The whole CV should come off the shaft.
If the CV is already in bits, and you have ALL the above componants, make sure all the bearing parts are there!! Some have sealed cups and some are not and have needle bearings. If the hub is undamaged it is possible to use a press to put the 3 main parts back together.

Mark position of drive shaft and yoke - to install in the same position (not to upset balance) Remove and discard small "U" bolts on yoke Slide drive shaft up spline end to dislodge drive shaft from yoke. You can either "beat" U join out of shaft, but better to bring to auto parts store that has a machine shop to install new joint Use new "U" bolts to install Make sure "U" joint is fully seated in yoke and installed in same position as removed
