to remove the complete shaft from the gearbox you will need a lever or wedges inbetween the inner cv joint and the gearbox,the shaft should come out with a few hits from a hammer,i had to do this when replacing the engine!

you may be better cutting off old boot and get a stretch boot to fit,you dont need to remove any cv joints to do this,fitting cone and boot kit on e bay for a few quid.
