I will make a video documenting this procedure in a slightly different manner, and showing an axle that will not separate short of total destruction.
You MUST use a Heavy Brass drift to drive the joint off, and get the impact angle/pressure just right, a steel drift will wreck the spider, balls or race/cup.

total destruction ???? our car has been running for 11 months now almost an year with four brand new Mercedes Benz boots
yep steel would be a bad idea and by they way even with the brass drift you don't want it to touch the balls or anything and cause scratches that might wear them out so its important to keep the drift firmly on the spider and make sure it doesn't drift about
