break the 32mm drive nut lose while on the ground, lugs too.
block in front and behind right rear wheel.
jack up via the cross brace and put jack stand under the left side jack point
lower until Jack is *JUST* touching and leave there for a moment.
remove the wheel.
with 7MM flex driver or socket... and a pair of rubber gloves on... slide under car and back the hose clamp on the inner driver very loose and slide it towards the drive shaft, THEN with fingers pointing towards the transmission, pull the inner boot off the inner driver, you are breaking the seal, go all around it...
reposition jack under the lower A arm, and jack up to get the clearance needed to block upper A Arm, you make need a buddy to lean on the bumper to get that to happen.
remove the axle nut
remove the UPPER ball joints, ONLY.... nothing else.
pull on the rotor and the upper ball joint will slip out and using a block of wood and hammer or a hard plastic mallet, hit the CV joint bolt to push the CV joint towards the center of the car (do NOT use the nut on the threads)... Keep the Tripod bearing pushed toward the center of the car, there will be enough clearance to get the CV joint out, and then pull the entire drive shaft out.
enjoy.
