front outer CV circlip

[Chuck Pierce]

Kneale
Bernie mentioned that with the C/V joint axle pulled out of the hub, you 
can drive the circlip off the axle by
running the axle bolt in through stub axle and driving it apart.
It will not get all the way off but will get it started to where you do 
not need to hold the circlip any longer and then it just a matter of
driving the cv joint the rest of the way off.  IIRC
