Breaker bar and 32mm socket. It can be difficult to get the CV off the axle in which case you will have to pull the inner tripod to get the outer boot on. Easy way is to loosen the 32mm axle nut first, jack it up and remove the wheel, loosen the inner driver clamp and boot, remove the 32mm nut, remove the upper 'A' arm ball joint bolts and lower shock nut and swing the whole wheel hub/brake assembly out and down which leaves room to pull the drive axle out over the hub. Then you can clean/inspect/reboot/repack the whole thing. Figure 3-4 BYM hours to do both sides.
