what are you driving?

Do you have the C.V out and are trying to remove the axel from the C.V itself, or are you talking about the c.v itself?

you mean the knuckle spindle?, the part the bearings ride on, and which has the thread on the end which accepts the locking nuts.

There is about 8 bolts directly behind the hub. Take these off an give it a tap (gasket holds pretty well).

you need to rotate the cv so that the flat part of the bell is at the top then the cv and inner axle will slide out.

if you mean the outside end of the cv remove whatever was in the centre of your wheel either a drve flange or locking hub in which case you will find a circlip and your wheel bearing nut and locking tabs.take a look in there and you will soon work it out.sorry for the vague explaination but it will get you started.
