This is pretty tricky if you normally don't work on cars. so be advised to not do this if you normally don't work on cars.
First off block off the rear wheels, put the handbrake on.
Jack up the side that you want to work on first.
remove the wheel.
Remove the axle nut, its the giant nut usually 32mm directly in the middle of your brake rotor.
Now, comes the tricky part, remove the cotter pin and nut that is right underneath the hub assembly, it holds the lower ball joint in place. now what i do is take a giant hammer and pound on the lower control arm, its the arm that the lower ball joints piece sticks out. what ever you do don't hit it on the threads where you just took the nut off at.
once you just it a couple of good whacks it should kinda drop and loosen up allowing you to manuver the hub assembly away and take the axle out.
Keep in mind the passenger side may have a intermediate shaft, under the car towards the center that you may need to unbolt also.
