Replacing the CV joints, How hard could it be? Options

[Delta_Phoenix]

one of my CV joint boots has decided to start throwing grease all over the place. i'm kind of afraid to go searching around for how much a shop would charge to replace them. the parts alone are gonna be like $160.

would it be worth my time to just do it myself? I like workin on my car, but i don't wanna get myself into something that i'm gonna regret after i get started.

or maybe I'll just get John to do it

btw, i'm going to replace the joints AND the boots on both sides of the car

So if I replace the axles will I have to replace the CV joints and boots as well?

What's the easiest way to get an axle out? I helped John get the axles out of the 4A-GZE tranny. It took 2 people to get the passenger side out by pulling on it with a rope, and John had to hammer the other one out. That was an entire day's work in itself.
