After struggling with this and not being able to find a guide or directions that worked, thought I'd write one...
The avant outer CV does not pop off like the front when you wind in the hub bolt. If you try hard enough it splits the CV in half!

Actual removal is quite simple when you figure it out...
First of all cut off the old CV boot, then clean away enough grease to reveal the circlip:

Spread this with a screwdriver and gently tap the CV:

A few more taps and it will easily slide off:

As you'll see there is a ring on the driveshaft and the CV that this circlip locks into. Removal without doing the above is almost impossible...
Hope that saves someone a few hours trying to figure it out!
