Kim, likely you don't need this info, but I found it to be the best for CV maint/replace. http://www.van-cafe.com/vanagonparts.jsp?pa=ip&ip=1150562894 It actually explained which end of hub, ball cage etc. faces which direction. I couldn't understand Bentley's explaination. And likely you know this too, but make sure you use hammer/drift on correct part of CV and NOT on end of driveshaft to drive CV off axle.
Cheers.
