There's not any special tools. You need a socket to fit the nut on the end of the axle and a wrench to take the nut and bolt off the bottom ball joint that slides through the control arm. Take a bar, pry down on lower control arm, pulling ball joint out, then pull the upper part out by hand, away from the car, slide axle out of the bearing assembly. Take a pry bar, put between trans and axle, give it a swift, quick ****. The axle should come out. Remember to always put jack stands under the car and be safe. Phil

Naturally you need to remove the tire then the brake caliper. After the brake caliper is removed then you need to remove the 34mm axle nut that is inside the hub. After that is removed then you can remove the hub. Becareful not to damage the hub seal on the back or you will have to buy a new hub (100 or more). Then you need to remove the strut knuckle assembly. Once the knuckle assembly is removed then you can pull the CV axle. Take care the inner CV housing is held in place by an inner snap ring. You will probably have to pry off the inner housing. Once the axle is off then install the new axle (if you buy complete axle). Make sure if you are doing both that you take care which side you are installing. I made that mistake and double the work. Slide the new axle on the spline and make sure it is seated completely. Then put back together the reverse of removal.

Remove the wheel, the castle nut in the axle, then break calliper and place it out of the way, carfull not to damage the brake line. It is usualy held down with a ten mil. bolt on the control arm. You dont have to remove the line from the calliper. remove the lower shock bolts, sway bar, stearing arm. I have always been able to press down the lower control arm enough to work the axle out of the hub. Carfully pry the other end from the transmission with a tool, or hefty screwdriver. Becarful not to damage the axle seals on the trans. I ussualy yank out the axle on my old cars.
