Yea Bro,looks like a C.V. blew up on you.
I can give you a hand,not too hard to do.Hardest part might be taking the hubnut off due to the fact that the axle end will spin freely.
Gimme a pm I'm by the Citadel Mall.

If you do the whole shaft, the hardest part will be the axle nut. If you are going to replace the joint by itself, it can be tricky on some Asian vehicles to separate from the shaft.

Yea I figure the easiest way to go would be to leave the wheel on and on the ground,then go through the center cap and break the nut free with a breaker bar.
Or a compressor and air tools would work too.

You have the correct size and depth socket? The large spindle nut deep sockets can be hard to find. Ask me how I know.

I always stick a screwdriver in the rotor vents where it will bind against the caliper bracket. Never had a problem.

Not a dinky little screwdriver, but a decent one.

And Vatozone rents the axle nut sockets so you don't have to buy one.
