And still...
Welcome back Tony.
When I did mine I didn't use a cone, I used a Blueprint boot which was neoprene so better than the cheap rubber ones, but still less than half the price of Honda. Also needed circlip pliers and CV boot pliers. And plenty of kitchen roll as it was messy getting rid of the old grease.

Thanks Sayama.
Doh, mistakingly bought inners instead of outers so wasted time before I realised that, quality outers are still three times the price of inners the buggers so went for a generic CV boot in the end .
I remember now refreshed by YouTube I just knocked the outer driveshaft off with a large copper mallet while holding the drive shaft. Takes a bit of doing in situ but can be done, brute force overcame the circlip both ways in this case. Waiting for other CV boot to arrive, ATB.
