If you’re after a detailed list of tools and steps, invest in a repair manual. I don’t know what you “already bought”, heck, I don’t even know what kind of vehicle this is. If I knew the year, make, and model, at least I’d know what we’re discussing. If it’s’ a regular FWD, you’ll be replacing the entire half-shaft. That can get nasty for someone with limited mechanical knowledge. You may want to reconsider after you read the procedure in your new repair manual. Don’t touch a single bolt until you do. ---

This OP has asked how to get more power out of an unknown AUDI, how to sell unknown parts from a KIA something and now wants to repair CV joints on who knows what. I vote for just ignoring the posts from mattmro444 because I think they are fictitious. ---

**^** I am beginning to have the same thoughts as Volvo V70. I realize that communication can be difficult for somebody who is obviously not a native speaker of English, but the variety of cars that this person has already posted questions about w/in just a few days makes me a bit suspicious of his intent. ---
