Jack up,
Put on an axle stand,
Remove wheel,
Remove split pin through the end of the shaft that locates in the castle nut,
Undo castle nut (either get someone to stand on the brakes or put a screw driver in the veins of the vented disc, as you undo it will lock against the calliper),
Undo the 2 bolts that pass through the bottom arm/tie bar/ball joint,
Pull the hub assembley away and the end of the shaft will come out of the drive flange (if needs be help tap it out with a bit of wood so as not to damage the threads),
Pull the driveshaft and it should pop out (if not apply equal pressure from behind the CV at opposing edges with 2 big flat head screwdrivers).
Reassemble in reverse order. Oh, you may drop a bit of box oil as well!
