CV Shaft Install

[012.5RS]

Well, my front driver cv shaft is starting to pop now, so I wanna replace it before I get stranded somewhere. I have never done a cv shaft, since this is my first car that has cv shafts. I'm not gonna ask how hard is it because its all relative to mechanical skill so what I'm asking is if there are any step by step guides out there, and if not what are the major things I need to be looking for, like anything that always goes wrong on these cars, thanx for your help.

not bad at all.
remove wheel, caliper, rotor etc etc. unbolt strut.
remove hub assembly ie: remove axle nut. um...... trying to think.
on the cv next to the trans, there is a drift pin that MUST be removed otherwise you will be pulling like mad trying to get the axle out. there is prolly more that I cant think of right now :P
