Howdy, i attempted hammering with and without the retaining nut but slackened, and same with pulling with the improved puller. I will try tomorrow to remove the whole thing togetherI presume you have slackened the driveshaft retaining nut?
It is said that the inner cv can be done in situ but I wouldn't fancy it
I think removing the shaft complete with the hub will be your best option then maybe take it to a garage and get the shaft pressed out should you ever need to do future repairs. It may be worth welding a blob onto the end of the cv to hopefully heat soak it and liquidate the locktite to help release the shaft from the hub without compromising the bearing
