Hi M8
If you turn the CV joint you will see a roll pin which has to be knocked out with a pin punch ,then pull CV out

Front driveshafts...
As said already knock out the roll pins in the shafts.
If you look at both ends of the hole for the roll pin (either side of the driveshaft) you will notice that one end has a slightly larger hole than the other, this is the end the pin must come out (and tap back into).

Propshaft removal...
Drain gearbox oil or have suitable container under the rear of the gearbox where the prop slides on.
Undo rear Diff guard (6 bolts)
Remove 4 prop to diff bolts
Support prop (helper )
Undo 2 centre prop support bolts
Slide prop off of back of gear box, there is no rol pin for the prop it just slides off of the shaft.
The prop acts as a seal for the rear of the box, when you slide it off the gearbox oil will come out
