Rear axle
How hard is it to do?
How long will it take?

front or rear cv joint, guessing front, not real hard, hardest part is getting the axle out, take spindle off, pull axle out of strut housing and get axle out of gearcase, i'd say for the first time, give yourself an hour or two, after that, it's done pretty quick, just don't lose the little ***** in the cv joint, did that once, pain in the butt finding em all

its not that hard to take off. pretty self explanitory when you get started on what to take off for parts to get the whole shaft out(if its the inside one). it just snaps out of the rear end housing(sometimes is a chore) and only held in by a snap ring. about an 1 hr and you should have it all apart for your first one if everything goes well.
