Hi there,
I am thinking that this is a Jetta>>>>>
There are a number of special tools required to do this job, you will not get it off with out them, you will have to take the shaft to a dealer or a drive shaft specialist to remove the outer CV, although one article does say that you can strike the outer hub with a soft hammer as this may knock the hub back enough to compress the "C" clip that holds the hub on the shaft.
