I put a jack under the ball joint then apply pressure from underneather to clamp the shaft then undo the 19mm nut with WD 40 everywhere, then let the jack down and normally a big spanner and socket under it to wedge the shaft out the base of the hub. | |

Can reuse them, just likely that the rubber boot will be damaged leading to sooner failure. | |

You need to get the bottom ball joint off to be able to move it over, take the 19mm nut off, then you'll need to seperate the ball joint rod from the hub, you can try prizing it off with something against the cv joint, cant get a hammer to it. | |
