It is pretty easy as long as stuff isn't rusted all that bad.

You will need to remove the bolt from the hub to the lower balljoint.Then remove the nut and outer tierod from the hub.
Unless you have an impact gun you will need to loosen the nut before you jack it up.Some remove the sway bar link as well.

Then using a pry bar or something like that push down on the lower control arm to get the lower balljoint out of the hub.Then pull out some and the axle should slide out of the hub.

Then pop the axle out of the trans.(Drivers side) On the passenger side you will need to remove the 2 12mm screw and the bracket holding the axle in the trans.

The socket you will need for the axle nut is 36mm
