   Hi,
   
   There is a video on this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CV-BOOT-KIT-DR...item27b211c192
   
   Changing the gaiter is ok but getting the driveshaft will be the awkward part.
   
   In addition to a good toolkit you'll need a 30mm socket for the hub nut and a long breaker bar.

   By the way Simo has written a nice guido on replacing driveshafts, its in the premium member articles area. Pictures plus steps, tools, hints and tips should you get stuck.
   
   He has also written a guido on changing brake pads front and rear.
   
   Good luck, and I hope you don't need it.
