Remove the split pin and castellated cap, loosen the hub nut which is a 30mm, remove the two bolts that hold the hub carrier onto the shock absorber, swivel that out of the way, at the same time, gentley remove your c.v joint from the hub, remove clips from the boot, cut old one off if need be, wipe away any excess grease, get someone to hold the driveshaft as you knock the back of the c.v joint with a soft hammer (copper, nylon, hide), the c.v joint will eventually relieve itself of the spring clip, should just pull off after that, give it all a good clean, check the splines, fit new boot onto shaft, fit the nut onto end of the c.v joint, just so the top sits flush with the shaft, slide the c.v joint onto the driveshaft till it meets the spring clip, make sure it is square before you tap it back over, you'll feel it click into place, fit clip or tie wrap to smaller end of boot, fill with grease, and be careful not to get any on the c.v joint or the boot where it mates to the c.v. slide over, fit clip, reverse the disassembly of the car.
