how to , who can, what are all steps. are there special tools?
sure. if the boot is bad, so be the joint, Yah think?

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   • Halfshaft from the vehicle
   • Snapring and bearing
   • Snapring and oil seal
   • Mounting bracket
   • CV-joint boot
   • Circlip and inner joint housing
   • Snapring and spacer
   • Inner joint balls
   • Snapring and inner CV-joint
   • To install:
     
   • Install or connect the following:
     
     • Inner CV-joint and snapring
     • Inner joint balls
     • Spacer and snapring
     • Inner joint housing and circlip. Add 150 grams CV-joint grease.
     • CV-joint boot
     • Mounting bracket
     • Oil seal and snapring
     • Bearing and snapring
   • Install the halfshaft and mounting bracket to the vehicle.
   • Check the wheel alignment and adjust as necessary.

Take wheel off then there should be a cover in the center Allen head bolts remove it I think there's a clip to remove and some other spacers then in bolt the lower ball joint pop it loose should be able to push and pull the cv axel out

Line the outer up in the right place and enter it until the circlip is against the splines . Use a large heavy hammer and rap the end of the shaft hard and the circlip will pop in the groove and allow the shaft to go home.. Removal from the shaft is much the same as it has a circlip inside the transmission. So remove the shaft from the wheel. Use a hammer to hit the cv joint so that it jumps the shaft out of the transmission .

remove inner cv boot, just on inside edge is circlip which holds inner bearing joint into outer housing remove circlip and separate joint outer housing does not come out of front diff unless you drop or remove whole front diff assembly
will have to remove whole stub axle hub assembly to remove drive shaft from outer wheel stub axle (hub) assembly

unbolt the tie rod end and the lower a arm and it should slide out of there

Remove steering joint.Then bottom ball joint then you should be ok.

You might have to remove the diff cover and remove the lock rings from inside the diff.

from the front? If so no there is no easy way to do so. I had to drop the differental and then remove the cv shaft.... but this was on a 1993 I would think its still the same...
