I've pulled both halfshafts.
Had to replace the outer CV boots.
The first time is always a pain but the second shaft went smoothly.
It's not too difficult to do, especially if you have access to some tools and a garage or decent work area. Took me about three hours to get the shaft out, clean up the CV joint and reinstall with a new boot and grease. If you have the new shaft ready to go I bet you could do it in about an hour.
Things you'll need...
22mm open-end closed end to remove the pivot joint nut.(maybe even a pickle fork to separate the two is a good idea)
32mm socket (to remove the hub nut)
Small pry bar or large flathead screwdriver (to gently pry the shaft from the transaxle)
Cotter pins to replace the ones in the pivot joint and the hub nut.
Take you time and go slow to avoid damaging anything. You’ll be happy you did.
