If you have never done CV axle replacement, plan on doing it on a Saturday morning to mid-day. A seasoned technician can do both in a bout 1.5 hours including prep and cleaning afterward. Get a Haynes or Chilton (Haynes is more user-friendly for non gearhead). They have more pictures to each step than what we can provide.
