from memory you cant knock outer cvs off like on a fwd car, take the end cover off the inner cv, then your find a circlip, remove that and take the inner cv joint off

or you could just buy a stretchy boot. the garages use them these days . with the help of a large cone and some silicon .



or try this

That first stretchy boot is sooooo cool!! and being silicon should last a while as well.
