You will need to remove the hub first to allow you to slide the driveshaft out.

Once you have the drive shaft free with the pot joint on the end (which will need to levered free from the diff side) you have to Undo the CV boot (or cut it if you're replacing it),... remove the ball bearings,.. clean it up,.. then the end that the ball bearings house in can be hammered off.

is there a way to keep the bearing? as the drive shaft brok and i want to replace both sides with better ones and didnt want to buy pot joints and CV joints.

Cheers
