I did a search and came up with nothing. I replaced my front passenger side CV boot with one of those cheesy glue together boots from autozone a while back, and it has ripped again. I noticed our CV Joints are relatively inexpensive, and I am wondering if anyone has replaced one yet? I know it is easy to get out of the wheel bearing, as I replaced the wheel bearing a few months back, but didn't know if it was difficult to get the other side out of the Diff. I've never done a CV shaft and didn't know if i needed to pull C clips out of the diff like a real axle or what. If anyone knows let me know. Thanks.

I just read the Haynes manual on it down at the local autozone. Apparently all you need is a hammer and a pry bar to remove the Cv Axle from the differential. Seems you just pry it out. So, I answered my own question.
