Re: Replacing CV Joint 1997

CV nut is 30mm
Remove the caliper,rotor, all out of the way.
Either pop the lower ball joint or remove the 2 strut bolts attached to the steering knuckle.
Cv shaft is held inside the trans with a retainer clip. They are a bitch. You can use a slide hammer and a CV shaft puller which is the best idea, or use a pry bar and "pop" it with a little leverage off the side of the trans case.

Thats about it.

CV shaft nut is 185ft/lbs re-torq.
