-(7) Using an old vice in my case. with the axle was still attached to the gearbox, I clamped the vice onto the axle to allow me to lever off the outer CV joint. Using the vice as a point to lever against, the outer joint then popped off easily allowing it to be cleaned using paraffin.

 Here is what I did
 (1) Removed wheel centre cap and undid the large nut holding the drive shaft in to the hub.
 (2) Removed the wheel.
 (3) Split the upper and lower balljoints using a 2 part scissor type ball joint splitter. This required grinding with an angle grinder to fit my Elan correctly, but made easy work of splitting the joints.
 (4) Removed the drive shaft from the hub.
 (5) I removed the bottom pin/anti rollbar ball joint to allow the bottom wishbone to move down and let the axle pass forwards to have better access to it. Take care when removing this pin ball joint so as not to damage the joint - they are £50+vat each (Part no. for this balljoint is B100C6008F).

 I hope you find this info useful.
