2000 Nissan Quest GXE, 104K, 3.3L V6.
CV joints on both front axles are shot. Anybody know of a procedure for removing and replacing the axles on this vehicle?

Need to lift and support front of vehicle. Remove both wheels and axle nuts, seperate lower ball joints from steering knuckle.Pull axle out of spindle (steering knuckle), using a pry bar, pop axles out of trans and remove from vehicle.

Thanks Jack! Any tricks to getting the new axles in, or is it pretty straightforward? Also, what are the torque settings for the axle and ball joint nuts?
