Hi,

The replacement of the CV axles will take time, but it really isn't too difficult. To get you started, here is a link that explains the procedure in general. I feel it is actually easier to understand than the manual.

Here is the link:

If you look below, I attached the directions from my manual. They only provide one side of the vehicle, but that is because they are basically the same. They are just different sides.

Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions and if this helps. Also, the tooling needed to perform this isn't something most people have. However, most parts stores will lend you what you need.

Take care,

Joe
