generally speaking because I don't know excactly what you working on , remove the hubcap and there will be a large nut that you will need a 30,32, or 36 mm socket, a half inch drive breaker bar and a cheater pipe about 4 ft long to break loose.after you get that nut loosened raise the car and remove the tire. there will be a pinch bolt or something similar holding the lower ball joint to the steering knuckle, remove it. remove the stabilizer link, have a assistent stand on the lower control arm to push it doen as far as it can go and get the steering knucle off the ball joint. take a wooden block and hammer and hit the end of the axle to loosen it from the hub bearing. push the joint the rest of the way though and get it free. pull on the inner joint itself to remove it from the transaxle, it has a spring clip that holds it so it will pop out all at once with a relly good pull or you may have to pry it with a large screwdriver, some fluid may leak while the axle is out. put your new axle in just how it came out, remanurfactured axles are the way to go. they usually run 75-100. Make sure you look up the tourqe spec on that axle center nut and follow it when putting it all back together.

I'm assuming you want to remove the CV shaft and not just the joint. Typically it's easier to remove the shaft and work on the joint.

The removal differs slightly with each make and model.

If you're looking on how to remove the axle nut, my advice is to place the car on the ground on all 4 wheels and use a good ratchet and a 3 foot cheater bar with lots of liquid wrench.
