Outer CV joint Disassembly.
The outer CV joint is the harder of the two joint to remove. First, remove the boot or push it back if you still intend to use it. Set the bar up in a vice, so that the outer joint is facing towards the ground.
Take a tac hammer and put it directly on the race, which is the part directly connected to the shaft.
Starting with soft blow, use a heavier hammer/ mallet and start tapping on the tac hammer, gradually increasing in force. This will help line up the internal clip, and the heavier blows will help remove the joint.


Inner CV Joint Disassembly
 
To remove an inner CV joint from an CV axle, first cut off the old boot. If the boot is fine, and you want to reuse it, just pull it back towards the outer joint. After the boot is out of the way, clean any excess grease.
Once it is clean, you should be able to look inside the inner joint housing and see a "c" clip near the edge of the housing.
This can be removed by putting on utility knife or an flat head screw drive under the clip and flicking it off.
Once the clip is removed, you can pull the inner joint housing, and whats left on your shaft should be: the race, the cage, and the ball bearings.
If you look at the top on the race, you will see a retaining clip. If you have retaining clip pliers, this can be removed easily. Spread open the clip and remove it, that will allow you to remove the race, cage, and ball bearings off the shaft.
