CV Boot Replacement or New CV axles?

@Hink the sway bar end link are in the way to swap the CV's out. The bushings are usually shot even if they are newer. Have a set on hand...

The nut on end of the axel is not reusable. Another item to have. Replacement CV sometimes come with a new nut.

1) Remove sway bar link
2) Place truck crossmember on stands and allow lower control arms to drop down fully.
3) this will create enough clearance for the inner CV hub at the front of the differential to allow removal and reinstall. Very easy.

Thank you guys very much for that info.
I'm going to try to get into it this week depending on how long it takes to ship the nuts and bushings.
Either way, I feel pretty good about getting it done now!
