Hello,

In order to change the CV axle you will have to first raise the vehicle and support it with jack stands.
Then remove the wheel.
Remove the axle nut cotter pin and the nut.
Then you will have to disconnect the ball joint, which will allow you to remove the CV axle.

Here is a helpful article:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
