Attempting both CV axles change.

Well all went well, thank you guys for the tips, I replaced the left axle, the right boot only, all four rotors and brake pads and sensors, I didn't take out the ball joint as some post showed, only took out one bolt on the bottom arm, turn the steering to the left and got it out very easily, my friend had all the tools necessary which made it easy.
thank you again..

Very glad for you it went well. Just my opinion but FWIW, I do not understand why anyone would relace a boot when the entire axle relacement, to me, seems easier. Now, if I am correct, doesn't the CV joint have to be taken apart to replace the boot? If I am wrong, please excuse my ignorence!

there is a company or two that make replacement boots that can be replaced without seperating the axle, but i am not sure how durable that may be. did the axle that you replaced have any driving sounds or issues that led you to believe it needed changing or was it strictly visual?

I ordered an axle, I had to fix it just so I can pass my inspection tomorrow, otherwise I would replace it. I found out last week the boot was broken.
