follow the red spots..pay attention to the how the "point" goes to the "wide" section of the mating part.
starting at the top picture, if both hands are on the CV at the 9 and 3 o'clock postion, your fingers on your left hand would be pushing "up" while your thumb on the right hand would be pushing down.
When the middle section is about 90° to it's original postion, it will slide right out (with a little help, but not much)
reassembly is reverse...
