axle/cv replacement refresher

[sharpshooter33 at adelphia.net (David Brown)]

There you are!!! Julie to the rescue.

Ok remove axle nut, turn wheel EOT..... Slide both ends out? Am I missing 
something?
$58 for complete Axle at NAPA (+$30 core charge)

Half a day and back in business?

Ummm no need tyo remove the 15mm nut and bolt and removing the hub from the 
ba;; joint.
Just turn the steering wheel to EOT and the ineer CV will slip loose and the 
outer just slide out. 45 minutes each side.
