Remove the bracings and midpipes, the just unbolt the inner CV joints.
Pop the end cap (hammer and punch), remove the clip on the axle, and the joint should slide out.
If it doesn't, you'll need a puller.
Be careful to use quality boot clamps, or the grease will sling out!
If you don't have access to a lift, you'll have a hard time doing it on the car. If you can take them out, do it.

Followed this exact procedure, would add, remove the sway bar. Slow going, but if you keep at it, it works. UJ, outers were a bit gummy, dry, inners were better lubed, Mechanically, everything seemed fine, More than ample room, once you remove the mids and Sway bar, just pulled the outer boots down the shaft. Don't forget your clamps!
