I replaced all of my CV boots earlier this year. I used a basic press for fwd or irs vehicles to separate the half shafts from the carrier this way I didn't have to bother with unbolting the carrier. Overall it was a pretty easy job.
The tool I described works by being bolted on to 3 of the lug nuts. Then a large center bolt/punch is tightened which pushes the driveshaft out. I did have to drop the exhaust manifold on one side. It was the drivers side iirc.
The shafts are pretty easy to rebuild. Has one of the joints failed or just the boot torn?
