sounds pretty straight-forward from this writeup: http://www.grandprixforums.net/cv_shaft_replacement.php
how do you replace the drivers side drive shaft and cv joint?
Lift the vehicle using a jack. Inspect the CV boot for problems. Mark the axle. Separate the CV from the shaft. Remove the CV boot clamps. Use a mallet to knock the CV joint off the shaft. Remove the boot from the CV axle shaft.
It is much cheaper to replace the CV shaft. Purchase a Haynes manual that is specific to your car.
easy
you can get the cv boot kit that you can glue the join on rather than taking the drive shaft off
Don't bother trying to replace a torn boot on a half shaft. It is quicker, easier and cheaper to replace the whole half shaft.
Maybe it is one of the other cv-joints. Each half shaft has two cv-joints. Better off replacing the complete halfshaft with a rebuilt unit than to replace the one cv-joint only.
It's usually much more inexpensive to replace the entire drive shaft than to repair a worn cv joint. The new drive shaft will come with new cv joints and new boots.
It's part of the driveshaft outer cv joint. Replace the shaft as per 2002 Clio 1.5dci
generally any more it is cheaper to put a whole half shaft in versus repairing a cv joint.
Model Year, 2WD or AWD, And if it is AWD or a 2WD(Front Left-Half shaft) is it your inner or outer? If it is you will need to replace the half-shaft as the inner cv cannot be disassembled.
It is generally not cost-effective to replace individual CV joints. Rebuilt or new CV shaft assemblies in most cases cost less than the joint itself, and are a lot less work to install.
