Yes the bit on the box should still be attached to the prop. Remove it and try to rebuild the joint.

use a soft blow hammer to remove the outer CV race from the gearbox flange.
Then you need to disassemble the balls from the cage and insert one by one in a circular pattern to reassemble the joint - IIRC someone posted some useful picture of how to do this on the forum recently
Here you go - shows an outer CV, but the same principal applies.

Hmm... your outer CV may have become very stuck in the gearbox output flange.
Best method I have come up with is to cut two small notches on the outside of the CV, 180 degrees apart, as far away from the gearbox as possible, that will allow you to use a stone chisel and a hammer, to remove the CV. Less likely to do any damage to the gearbox output shaft.

Thanks guys for the replies after looking at the exploded diagram it became obvious that the outer race on the end of the box should be on the joint it was two years ago since I removed the prop and i`ve got a **** memory anyway lol
so prop is in! rear drive drive shafts stripped regreased ready for reassemble tomorrow
i have the bit between my teeth now it`s booked for paint next week full dip please sir
oh and How much will that cost
it only came in for a clutch replacement two years ago

It's for drive shaft CVs but the same principles apply.
