[s-cars] CV Boot Replacement Writeup

[Harold McComas]

I used this as a guide ( never done a CV joint before then):
http://www.audiworld.com/tech/misc27.shtml

However, I did not loosen any balljoints and/or control arms. If you move 
the axle and turn the steering wheel all the way in one direction you should 
have enough room  to maneuver and get the entire shaft out..
