Make sure you have the shaft dead straigh tcoming out and a swift tug will/shoudl do it, if it's at a slight angle it will hold it in place, that or a chisel and big hammer normally scares it out.

yeah you pu the chisel between the CV and the gearbox, and hit it with a hammer. that will release the CV and half shaft.

drill a hole through the remainder of the shaft and put a small metal bar/ longish drill bit through the hole, then tug on it sharply, should pop out of the diff.

thanks guys, will give it a go tomorrow, too cold tonight.

so all i have to do is wedge the big ring with the ball bearings and shaft in away from the gear box using a chisel or end of a hammer or some kind!?
