Dust Cover Removal on inner front hub...real time help??

[hankinid]

She's an '01 LX. Had a minor steering vibration at speed for the last 6 months or so. Grabbed a Slee tool to grease the front inner bearing...learned a lot from here... https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/448945-how-lubricate-front-axle-shaft-bushings.html

But now I'm a little stumped, search hasn't helped.

How do I remove the dust cover at the end of the cv joint where the joint meets the back of the knuckle?? I can see a slight gap between the cover and the knuckle, but thought there might be an easier way than hammers and screwdrivers.

Thanks.

Steve

Hammer and a sharp chisel between the drive plate and the cap. Work our way around trying not to destroy it in the process.

Christo, thanks. And thanks also to you and Ben for the quick shipment.
