How do you remove a CV joint on a 1997 Toyota Tacoma?

To remove a CV joint on a 1997 Toyota Tacoma, first, safely lift and support the vehicle, then remove the front wheel. Next, disconnect the axle from the hub by removing the axle nut and any bolts holding the hub assembly. Once the axle is free from the hub, use a pry bar to push the CV joint out of the transmission or differential, taking care not to damage any surrounding components. Finally, reverse the process to install the new CV joint.
