hi its not easy and very dirty job but here gos 1st take of your wheel then u need to remove the nut and bolt from the bottom ball joint then split it from the shocker mount then in the middle of the brake disc is a large nut which u need to undo (get some 1 to push the brake to make it easyer) then u can knock the drive shaft out of the disc housin now heres the messy bit remove the old gaiter and clean out all the greese inside the cv joint is a circlip which u need to open up as u do so u need to knock the cv joint of when u have done this u can replace the boot rebulid in reverse good luck, Jason
