VERY EASY, pull the wheel off, remove the cotter pin and anti loosen thingey
from the end of the axle, remove large nut, 1 1/4" if memory serves. Remove
6-8 bolts from inner axle flange, remove entire CV axle. Beg, borrow, rent
(autozone), steal, purchase a set of CV boot clamp pliers, use these to
remove the 2 clamps on the boot. Disassemble axle, clean CV axle, re pack
with CV grease (may come with boot), install new boot, re assemble axle, re
install clamps, re install axle, reinstall wheel, done.
