Remove the brake caliper and hang it on a wire so as not to strain hose, then remove caliper mounting. Now tap back of rotor to remove it. Detach tie rod end from knuckle, remove ABS sensor (this is very difficult, they stick) Remove control arm from knuckle. This is not easy due to the rounded edges of the control arm After that, undo large nut holding hub and drive axle and pull the hub off. At this point, with one person holding the hub out of the way, you can grasp and firmly pull the CV joint, with axle, right out of the transaxle. If you have the metric trans, the CV joints on this vehicle are almost, but not quite identical. Only about 1 inch difference, so do not confuse the sides. replace everything exactly the opposite way.
