No problem. If it wasn't for Upallnight, I would have replaced the axle and spent a lot more money. I would definitely get the CV joint puller. Only $26 on eBay! I'll be ordering these parts soon and post on the whole experience. The CV joint and boot kit is only $48. So you can replace both outer CV joints for $120ish (if you get the tool)!

I already have a 12 point 36 mm socket that I got when replacing the oil filter during oil changes. Recommend getting PB Blaster ($3.76 add on item on amazon) and a drift punch set (preferably brass) as well as a 32 or 48 Oz Dead blow hammer. I also don't have a cheater bar so I'm getting a 24" 1/2" drive breaker bar. Besides that just make sure you have rags and I think thats all you will need.

I would definitely use a lint free towel on the joints and not shop rags! I didn't think of that because I'll be replacing the joints altogether.
