Clicking is usually from a damaged outer CV joint. Check and see if the boot is split open or not. If it is, replacing the axle shaft with a reman is usually the cheapest and most cost effective repair.

Re: quite anumber of questions. :(

This may be a shop thing, unless you have some big socket wrenches and big pry bars. I believe the axle nut is 30mm or 32mm. Separating the lower control arm from the steering knuckle can be difficult sometimes. If you haven't done it before, your best bet is to have someone assist you who has done this type of work before or take it to a garage.
