i own a shop and all you need to do is jack it up safely,then remove the wheels and remove the big nut on them,remove the rotors and brake calipers then you might also have to loosen the bottom ball joint up,and remove t,and pull out on the lower control arm,and then there will be room for the drive axle to be removed,you need a real good repair manual for this one it will have all the details in it you,ll need to do this with.other wise is going to be more work than you think it is to do,these aren't the easiest ones in the world to work on,good luck hope this helps.

Doing an axle not a brake job..................
remove the tire, remove the big nut on trans axle, remove lower ball joint, swing a frame upwards while applying downward pressure to trans axle. then a simple tug or pry to get out of the transmission. Installation reverse order.

pull wheel
take spindle off if in the way of getting shaft out. It has to come off on most.
there is a cv joint right next to where it goes into the transaxle. tap with an aluminium hammer if you have one while prying with a bar of some sort to get it to come out of it's seat. If you pull on the shaft part you will mes up that joint. On the long side some have a mid shaft bearing.

You go to the closest auto parts store and buy the "Haynes" repair manual for your care. Around $20. Great book. Step by step. No problem, You can do this.
