You have to replace the whole CV shaft, and if you do one then you might as well do the other. Once you get it out of the hub on the wheel side you pretty much just pop it out of the trans with a crowbar. It's not terribly difficult, It's one of the first jobs I did when I started driving.



P.S. You might need a puller to get the cv shaft out of the hub.How do i change inner cv joint on ford escort?
Changing CV joints requires special tools and lots of patience. It's not a difficult job but not an easy one without the proper tools and knowledge. It is an expensive job at the garage but atleast it will be done right. Guides can be found on many automotive websites (I don't feel like looking up any for an Escort).
