Popped the nearside cv and thought I'd order one easily but
1.Cv and shaft appear to be joined together by witchcraft, you can see they're seperate but you can't split em.
2.There's no spare CV joints on this site or not what I can find anyway.
3.There's no Haynes manual for a Jimny
4.There's no posts from anyone with similar problem.
54 plate auto. Cv is 8 ball bearing type passenger side with long shaft.

i find putting the shaft end into a piece of metal pipe thats longer than the shaft then dropping it vertically so the end of the pipe hits the floor and "pushes up" and it will pop the CV off, just watch it doesn't fly off and hit you or loose the small clip.
Haynes manual- can't help with I'm afraid
CV ebay has them or local motor factors, i would assume on a 54 plate you want the one with less splines..... i think from memory, but I'm sure someone will come along and correct me

But if they are pretty much joined together then what makes you think it is an issue because generally they explode into bits when they fail

What exactly are the symptoms you are trying to cure?

A piece of tube to slide over the shaft and mate with the hub of the joint slide it in a downward direction until it hits the floor and you have it removed....brinell free.....strip clean reassemble.

Thanks for all the help I'm new to Jimnys but it looks like I'll be learning a lot!
Also I didn't mark up vacuum pipes but assume I can trace them to find correct one.
Might remove ABS ring too as it's daft I need to strip bearing to replace the 4 hub bolts. I'll be putting high tensile bolts back in there too those things were soft as muck!!

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
