OK, just got done with the driver's side CV axle tonight (in the dark on wet pavement...). It took me about 3 hours yesterday to get the axle out and I ended up going a slightly different route than others have mentioned. Instead of risking snapping off the exhaust manifold bolts, I decided to just remove the secondary cat section (the theory being that any of those bolts/nuts would be easier to replace if broken than the manifold ones). I'm sure it took more time than just dropping the whole exhaust (or separating the ball joint), but messing with header bolts/gaskets is not my cup of tea. It then took me about 6 hours today to disassemble, clean and regrease the CV joints and then put everything back together, but now that I know what I'm doing (this was my first time underneath the Boxster) I'm sure the passenger side will be quicker.
Thanks for all the help!
