How are you meant to do it?

I've undone the two bolts holding the bottom arm and given it a good swing but it just won't pop out.

Any advise on how to get it out?

Hammer and chisel on the inner cv should do the trick, just dont split the cv boot!

I'll have to hit it harder as already tried that.

The pass boot is already split, so got to sort that too.

Push and pull really hard. Mine used to fly out after a good few tugs.

25x6mm steel flat bar 300mm long with a shallow angle chamfer only enough for it to fit between the inner cv and gearbox. A few sharp swings and it should come away
