Scott,
That's easy. Just use a torch. Use a plumbers propane torch.

Put it on a small flame, then heat up the old cv joint,

the part that's around the axle.

But don't put any flame on the axle shaft.

You want that to stay cool.

A little heat goes a long way expanding the old joint,

and it will slide right off.

Wipe off the grease first, push the boot out of the way,

so the thing doesn't catch on fire.
