Question
IS A TASK ONE CAN DO ONESELF OR IS A PRO MECHANIC NEEDED. CAN YOU GIVE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS IF SO?


Answer
The cv joint/driveshaft is fairly difficult and best left to a pro if you have never did this kind of work as it involves removing the driveshaft and hub assembly.I dont know your mechanical skills so its your call.You will need some special tools and driveshaft size sockets and an air hammer.(optional)
