CV Axle testing and replacement

I believe I am having CV problems. While towing a light boat, I hear noises in the passengers side front of the car. It sounds like gears messing together poorly. It increases in frequency as the speed increases. When turning right, it get much more profound, almost a light thump thump thump as you turn the right hand corner.
I've read some post about "turning in a circle test". can some one explain the test?
are the axles above a somewhat handy man's abilities? or is it something that needs to be done in a shop?
Do you have a basic procedure to replace them?
Thanks in advance
Rex
