I have removed the tire, brakes, roter and my instruction manual says to remove the driveaxle first so I removed the driveshaft nut and next it says to remove the bolts securing the driveaxle constant velocity joint to the differential unit however, I can't find any bolts to remove.

After removing the driveshaft nut should the driveshaft come off? If so, how does it come off?

Where do I find the bults securing the driveaxle cv joint?

At the moment I fell as thou I am in a little over my head but I'm hoping you can help me out!!

The bolts are on the other end, on the inboard joint...remove them and then pull the shaft down and out.

I looked on the inner joint but didn't see any bolts there either? Do I have to take off the inner CV boot to find the bolts?
