amacman is on a distinguished road
step 4 there is just what to do .
I had the complete joint out of the hub but still attached to the shaft so held the shaft and hit the cv joint with a hammer . it separated easily .
the splined shaft fits into a splined part of the cv joint . I have added a pic from fp997 to show this . it is the star shape part in the center of pic . the "c" clip holds the 2 parts in place . this is what drives the wheel . the bearing and cup allow for movement .


so all you need to do is unbolt the control arm
remove clamps from boot
hold shaft . hit cv joint to dislodge the "c" clip and that is it . impact or leverage will separate the cv joint from the shaft , you will figure it .

8 pages in and we have the diy down to a few words on 3 lines . that`s progress .
easy peasy .
