Does anyone know of a DIY article that deals with the replacement of the entire front axle assembly?

I have a 2001 X5 4.4 with about 96K miles. Both of my front cv boots died a long time ago. I was already hearing the clicking noise so I knew I would have to replace the entire axle. To answer the question that many have asked, the axles joints are very strong and will last in excess of 30K miles even after you hear the first click. I would not suggest you drive in this condition though.

Anyway, I've stopped driving the X5 and have ordered a whole bunch of Front end stuff to replace and install this weekend or over several weekends. I'm going to do the brakes, rotors, sway bars, control arms and both axles. Everything is fairly easy to do except the axles.

Any inforomation is much appreciated. BTW, I have read the DIY for the CV boot replacement which covers a lot. It seems that a few more steps and you could probably replace the whole axle following those instructions
