Right hand side was easy to remove, but the left was a different story. In the end I discovered that with the gear in neutral I had just enough clearance to pull the outer cv from the hub.
Of course that is not the end of the story; the seal cap in both drive flanges had come loose. The rubber parts are damaged so now I have to get some new ones before I can continue. I already thought it was a bit odd that a lot of oil was dripping down when I loosened the inner CV joints.

Guess I might as well do the engine mounts while it's up on stands. And the top strut mounts……and the gear linkage…..and suspension bushes….and change the oil…..and the gearbox oil……and check the fuel system……gotta love old cars. 8) oh, and the brakes.
