Perfectlap,

I have replaced complete drive shafts (axles) many times on different cars and IMHO, it is a fairly easy task (as long as one of the allen bolts is not stripped, which will require dremmel surgery), if your bolts look rusty, pre-treat them with PB Blaster before attempting to remove them

Seriously could be a fun Saturday project to remove the axles, clean the bearings, re-lubed them and replace the boot, perhaps the only 'special tool' will be a torque meter.
