dude its so easy all you do is remove the lower control arm and tied rod then use a pry bar between the transmission and the inner cv joint and carefully pry then pull it out. Idk if an altima has a cotter pin on the hub bolt. Its very easy man if you power tools.

Give pictures of the undercarriage and I'll give you a step-by-step of the process.

I'm willing to bet money that it will be easier on that Altima compared to all the goddamn VW halfshafts I've had to deal with.

But that would be awesome if you really could give me some instructions on how to change it....This is like the first thing ive really ever done with suspension so i dont really know a whole lot about it....

I was also wandering if you could tell me if getting this pair of CVs from ebay would be an okay idea. I posted the link below but i think you will have to copy and paste it......
