SOURCE: CV Axle removal and installation
The axle should be able to be removed by using a flat ended pry bar tool with a dull flat end. Or possibly a very large flat screw driver. Put the pry bar between the axle and transmission. With light pressure, the axle should pop out of the transmission. The axle just snaps into the transmission. There should be no need or cause to damage the seal because the seal is inset into the transmission. Just watch what you are doing. As far as replacing the seal, I do not know. I have not had to do that yet, and I have replaced both sides with new boots more than once.

What you need to do is steam clean engine compartment making sure to cover Distributor/coilpacks with plastic bags to make sure that they stay dry...Do this at a self serve coin wash....Prior to the steam clean spray engine degreaser on oil pan and block from under the vehicle...Once you are satisfied that engine is clean drive vehicle home and park it....Put a big piece of cardboard under vehicle as to locate proximity where leak is coming from(ie; location of drip marks on cardbord to possible places oil could leak...The reason for the cleaning first is because if you have oil all under your vehicle when it heats up it will drip from any where and this method will isolate leak....the most probable places are the pan gasket , drain plug (make sure there is a rubber gasket on plug), valve cover, Distributor( if applicable), oil filter , sending unit, and of course crank, cam seals...Remember that oil leaks are caused by back pressure in the system and more times than not all starts from a vehicle that has been neglected and has clogged pcv valve (positive crankcase ventillation) if you still cant determine where leak is coming from you will have to take it to a repair shop and have them do a die test....make sure it is a shop that you trust cause as you know oil leaks are very frustrating .....Good Luck

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.

Go to my profile I have just explained how to change a cv boot on a Trooper. The axle needs to be taken out to change the boot so the same solution. What you call an axle I have refered to as a drive (short for driveshaft) It takes a lot of explaining so save me a lot of writing if you read the solution I gave for changing the CV boot. Cheer's
