I had a 1990, and it was a 5 speed maual. It was sort of simple. first remove tire, then cotter pin in front of large 30mm or so nut. Then remove this nut from end of shaft. Use a large metal bar in between 2 lug nut bolts that is long enough to reach the ground. "lock" the bar in between lug bolts and on the ground then attach ratchet to the bolt and loosen. The bar will stop the shaft from spinning and allow for removal. You then must remove the 3 large bolts from lower control arm to free up strut and make room for the old shaft to pop out. Control arm may need a little banging to loosen up, they also make a tool called a pickle fork to separate it. When that is all freed up use a prybar in between transmission and shaft, there is just enough room to slide the bar in. Give it a good solid "pop" and pry motion to push it outward from transmission. you should hear it pop out. When puttimg new one back in, be sure to line up the little "splines" on the new shaft! DO NOT MASH up those little gear threads. When it is lined up nicely, try to give a steady even push back in. You should hear a pop when it is locked in. Then go through the steps backward and throw her back together. 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 replace opel cv joints?

That depends which model it is. On older models CV-joints were moulded into the driveshaft. To be replaced they had to be removed using a press and then warmed to be able to replace them. On these models it is often better to replace the whole driveshaft. On newer models CV-joints are attached with clips and can be replaced more easily.

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.
