Well, it's the Kappy method, not the Quasi method....

1. Put the car in neutral, Loosen the center wheel nut (32MM) and wheel stud bolts.

2 Jack up the front of the car (both sides) and remove the wheel.

3. Remove the large clip holding the boot on the INNER driver.

6. Remove the 2 bolts holding the hub to the bottom of the shock. The bolts are a 17mm/19mm combo.

4. Twist the hub toward the rear and pull it away from the shock.

5. Put the wheel nut back on the axle stub so that the end of the threads exactly line up with the surface of the nut.

6. Gently hit then end of the axle stub to lossen the drive shaft in the wheel hub with a hammer. The objective is to knock the front of the cv joint out of the splines on the inside of the hub.

7. When the outer joint is loose in the hub splines, peel back the boot on the inner driver and pull the drive shaft out of the inner driver cup. I put a plastic freezer bag over both end of the inner driver to keep them clean and the grease contained.

8. Pull the driveshaft down and to the right and pull the axle stub out of the hub. You should now have the driveshaft in your hands.

9. Remove the cv joint from the driveshaft by opening the large snap ring in the cv joint. You may have to clear grease away to see it. I use large lock ring pliers to do this.

10. Replace the boot. Clean the joint with a lint free cloth and grease it up. Then put it back together. Note: the wheel nut should be (as I recall) torqued to 230ft/lbs. That is pretty tight.
