how do you split?? is the rubber ok?
the shaft should move at the point you have circled

the rubber is fine but the whole nuckle has seperated from each other as one end of the rubber where the Band goes to keep it in place came off. Should they seperate or be a complete unit with hardly any movement ?

they will be able to come apart at that point pal, you can put it back together as long as the knuckle has not come apart ie the needle roller bearings of the cv joint have not fallen out. just push back together, make sure the spring is still in place and secure the boot. job done
