it is not easy but it can be done.
take off both tires.
mark the hubs with white out so you can place them the same way.
disconnect axles from hubs.
remove passenger side torsion bar.
remove passenger side bottom a-arm.
remove all skid plates.
unbolt front drive shaft.
place and secure a jack under the center section of the axle.
unbolt the big brackets on each side of the axle tubes.
remove the passenger side spindle out of the way.
you should be able to wiggle and slid out the whole assembly out from the truck.
then you will be able to unbolt the axles from the axle tubes.
there is bearings and clips on the other side of the brackets that is why you must remove the whole axle assembly before servicing the axles.
that is why I replaced all of my cv boots at the same time even if only one was starting to tear.
I might have missed a couple minor steps which you should be able to figure out.
Good Luck.
