Other than "don't - take it to a dealer"?  Half-shaft out, spread the
circlip inside the joint, and pound away.  Even with the circlip out
of the way (there's a new one in the kit, so you can happily destroy
the old one) the splines are a very tight interference fit - it's
really a two-man job with proper tools.
