You said," the drive shaft separates from the stub axle" ? I think I understand your question. You are trying to do this in place without removing stub. Yours must be late '85 onward, '87?

In this case the outer CV joint is integral in half shaft with the "stub axle". I don't have this so I can't verify.

From what I recall; I rotated the inner race of CV relative to outer race of CV. This was to align a ball bearing with open slot. Then tilted inner race to expose ball for removal. This needs to be done 5 (?) times to get all the balls.

You should go to the url's in my post. There are excellent pictures of the joints.

Repacking this should be interesting.

I would be inclined to relube inplace rather than to dismantle. My first CV went out at about 175K, never serviced.
