Grip the nut with a pair of pliers or pry it off with a small screwdriver, being careful not to crack the nut. To reinstall, push the nut onto the shaft. Be sure to check the resistor board located to the left of the motor for broken resistor wires or a melted thermal limiter.

1: disconnect the drive shaft from the rear axle. 2: disconnect the front shaft from the transmission (tedious and you need the correct size tool). 3: disassemble the front shaft from the main shaft by pulling them apart from the center or in front of the support and drop the main shaft. 5: remove bolts holding the support and drop and remove the front shaft shaft with the support still connected. 6: remove and replace the support with a wheel puller. 7: replace support with new part. 8: reassemble in reverse.

Because of the complexity of this kind of job, it is strongly suggested that you buy a repair manual that explains it in detail. You need to loosen the axle nut with the car on the ground, raise the car, remove the wheel, unbolt the lower ball joint, tie rod end stud, strut lower through bolts, remove the brake caliper, then you can tap the CV shaft stud back and pull the spindle assembly free of the CV shaft. The driver side CV shaft can then be popped out of the transmission. The passenger side CV shaft has a carrier bearing with three bolts holding the shaft to the bearing. Do not try to take the bracket off the engine, it is not necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal.
It is the distributor. If you remove the distributor cap, rotor and cover plate, you will find metal shavings around the shaft and bearings. You can remove these shavings with compressed air and a pencil magnet. Spray a small amount of white lithium grease around the bearings and reassemble.
Since rebuilt CV shafts are available for only $60-70, it's more cost-effective to just swap out the shaft.
