How do you replace the cv joint on a 1995 mercury villager?

You need to know if it's got ABS front brakes or not...however, the ABS CV joint will work on the non-abs vehicle. Remove the wheel, brake caliper & strut mount. Unbolt whatever needs to be unbolted to swing the the spindle out to allow the shaft to be pulled. Near the transmission there is a locking collar..if I recall...this must be loosened / removed too. The CV shaft pulls straight out, but may take sume pursuding...look at the replacement & you will see. It wasn't that tough, but you need all the standard tools for front-end work..
