Is there a wy to remove the front hub [passneger side] without removing the axel? The 4 bolts are behind the C/V joint making them almost impossible to get to without removng the C/V joint. I was going to try a crow foots socket but thought I would ask if anyone has done it before without removing the axel. I want to replace the axels but I have never done them before. Are they an easy swap?

 

Yes, Remove the axle nut and push the outer CV joint back so you can remove the bolts. Then slide the bearing assy off.
