Open the circlip so it disengages from the locking groove.
Tap out the inner ring onto the shaft a few millimeters, so that the circlip will stay open.
Use a brass drift to tap out the inner constant velocity joint.

CAUTION:

Only tap the inner ring so as not to damage the ball housing or outer ring.
