Type 44 Axle Shaft Removal/CV Boot R & R

[Christopher Ritchie]

I am need to replace the boot on the outer left front cv joint.  I guess the 
easiest way to do that is to take the axle shaft off and do the repair off 
the car.  The Bentley says the procedure is:

1. With the car on the ground, loosen the 32mm axle nut, and wheel lug 
bolts.
2. Jack up car and remove the axle nut and wheel.
3. Remove the triple square nuts holding the inboard end of the axle shaft 
to the transmission.  Move axle back.
4. Press outboard end of axle out of the wheel hub.

Is that all there is?  That doesn't sound too hard.  Is this something the 
average home shade tree mechanic can do?  Is the press something that is 
readily available?
