First make sure you cam get the driveshaft nut loose, if not take it to a garage to undo it for you.
Remove the caliper.
Remove the suspension strut to hub bolts.
Remove the lower ball joint bolts.
Remove the rear trailing arm from hub to subframe bolts.
Remove arb drop link which ever end come off easier.
Swing the hub out the way and knock out the drivshaft from the hub with a piece of wood or copper hammmer.
Get ready to stick a rag in the hole to stop all the oil from p1$$ing out, you may want to drain it and replace it though.
Remove the drivshaft complete from the car.
Get stretchy boots from any good parts supplier, change boots.
Refit in reverse.
