That should work.  I did one recently, and the bolt popped the CV almost
all the way off, a tug finished the job.  I did it in a vise, but it
ought to work the same on the car.

Make sure the CV is 'straight' on the axle - the stub with the threads
has to line your bolt up with the main axle end.

Also, you have to unclip the boot to get the joint off, tha might be
fighting you.

Good luck...
