You shouldn't need to 'thrash it off'! I open my vice jaws to a bit more than the shaft and then bring the CVJ down smartly onto the top of the vice. CVJ stops, halfshaft keeps going - I have a wooden floor for the shaft to fall onto.

If you look at the parts books for all the axles that use the same basic casing you'll find all sorts of little differences between them - parts seemingly just left out. My approach is to put it back to how it left the factory because we just don't know why a change has been made to a later model.
