Outer CV Joint/boot

Hi guys, how does the outer cv joint come off? Is it a knock off type, or is the circlip that holds it on the shaft?

Many thanx

I have just done the cv joints without taking the shaft out. Clamp the shaft with mole grips and push the mole grips towards the gearbox while a mate bangs the cv joint with a hammer. It should come off easily. You only need to remove the strut bolts to get the cv joint out.
