Hello,

On this CV axle there should be a snap ring at the end. To remove the snap ring you will have to use a snap ring plier to safely remove that ring.
Without the proper tool it will be difficult to remove.

There is also a cotter pin that you will have to remove before taking off the axle nut to get to the CV axle.

Here is a helpful article:

I have attached the replacement procedure as well as assembly and disassembly procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
