The passenger side front cv axle exploded at the one nearest to the wheel. I am now in the need of a replacement and am planning on ordering it from our host. I was going to go with the OPParts version and not the factory as they want $1300 for it .

Can anybody walk me through what I need to do to replace the assembly? What special tools do I need if any? Is there a PDF of the shop manual available for download?

This is my first repair since we purchased it 3 months ago.

Thank you in advance.
