I don't want to force things, so if anyone could advise if I am in the correct ball park or not.

Thanks

With the 4 bolts out it is being held loosely together with two spiral dowel pins and a gasket that may have been dressed for better sealing and therefore acts as a weak glue.
With the bolts out just lightly tap on the side of the CV joint with a hammer while slowly turning the wheel/shaft/joint (to get even separation). Lightly tapping in a wedge (screwdriver) at the green arrow, should also do the job.
