What are the methods for disassembling the outer CV joint of a driveshaft?

[Lila]

Steps for disassembling and assembling the outer CV joint of a driveshaft: 1. Remove the driveshaft lock nut. Lift the vehicle on a hoist and raise it to an appropriate height. Loosen the six fixing bolts of the inner CV joint, and detach the control arm ball joint from the steering knuckle. Remove the driveshaft from the side of the outer CV joint, taking care not to damage the driveshaft boot. 2. Separate the driveshaft from the CV joint: (1) Loosen the clamps on both sides of the CV joint boot, remove the boot, and inspect it for any damage or aging; (2) Remove the retaining ring: If the ring is on the outside of the CV joint, use external retaining ring pliers to spread the ring and remove the outer CV joint; (3) If the retaining ring is on the inside of the CV joint, use a hammer to tap the outer race of the CV joint to separate it from the driveshaft. 3. Inspect the CV joint assembly: Clean the inner and outer races and the steel balls of the CV joint, and check the wear condition of the inner race, CV joint, and outer race. If there are grooves, spalling, spots, or other signs of wear, replace the entire CV joint assembly.
