cool deal! they are relatively simple to change... YOU WILL NEED A PIC AND A LOT OF BRAKE CLEANER to get the bits out of the axle stub bolt heads. you will also need an impact wrench and an XZN tripple square 8 or 10mm socket... NOT TORX if you decide to get a new axle, DO NOT USE CHEAPO AUTOPARTS STORE NEW AXLES!!! they are junk.
if you want new, go to MB, or order from our site here.

if you want to go used, from a junk yard, take a pair of dikes to cut the band, and pull the boots and visually inspect the axle shaft before you bother purchasing it... 90% of the axles will be badly rusted and ready to fail.
