As far as the 6th generation celica 94-98 it's pretty strait forward. First of all I would recommend just purchasing new or remanufactured CV axle assemblies. By the time you replace just the joints, it takes about 4 hours longer and costs about $20 less than new axles themselves.
1. Untorque the axle nut with the vehicle on the ground. It is going to be tight as hell. I belive its a 30mm socket but I'm not positive. You will need a breaker bar with a cheater bar possibly. Obviously you will need to remove the cotter pin and nut cover first.
2. Untorque the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground.
3. Jack the vechicle up and support with jack stands.
4. Remove wheels.
5. Remove brake caliper, pads, and mounting bracket. Support caliper with bungee cord or wire, don't let it just hang by the hose.
6. Remove axle nut.
7. Remove to bolt holding the steering knuckle onto the strut. (shock and spring assy.)
8. You should be able to finagle the strut end out of the steering knuckle without removal of any more components. If the end is stuck in the knuckle, tap with a hammer lightly. If you are going to reuse the axle this method is not recommended and a puller will be needed.
9. Once you have that end of the axle free don't pull on it to get it out of the transmission, all that will happen is you will separate the inner joint and rip the boot off. You need to get under the car with a pry bar and try to pop the axle out of the transmission. This can be kind of a pain as there is a circlip inside the transmission that holds the shaft in place. It took me getting really angry to finally get them out. Think of something that makes you really pissed...
10. Reassy is the opposite of disassy. You will probably need an alignment when you are all finished. Make sure to use the proper torque on the strut bolts, the axle nut, and the lugs. Good Luck...

It does have CV joints but, it is best to just swap out the complete axle assembly than to replace only the CV joint. You will spend much time and almost as much money trying to replace the CV joint than to just purchase a reconditioned axle assembly and swap it.

How do you know when it is time to replace your CV axle on a 95 Toyota Camry?
If you can hear a clicking sound coming from the front end when you go around tighter turns. If you can hear clicking turning right, you should replace the left CV joint and if you are turning left and hear the clicking sound you should replace the left CV joint. I strongly recommend getting it replaced sooner rather than later. A CV joint should run anywhere between $75-$125. I recommend a CV joint of a higher quality, which means more money, and with a lifetime warranty, it will be worth it, especially with them never say die Toyota engines.
