How to replace CV Axels? Options

[aspen]

My car clicks a bit when I turn, and the CV boots feel rather shot. I did some searching for the axels on Autozone and they appear to run about $80 each after I return my old ones. Anything bad about going for rebuilt ones?

I found a guide on here for replacing the left on, but I didn't bookmark it, and the search appears to be extra pokey. Even aside from that, how do you replace the axel on the drivers side?


Just to double check, clicking does equal the axels/joints right? I don't feel like tearing apart my car this weekend only to find I was incorrect.

Thanks!

I notice you mentioned ABS rings, is your car equipped with ABS brakes. If not then you need to remove the rings, they should pop right off if you hit them with a hammer, well you will have to at least pop the axle out of the wheel hub first though.
