37mm socket
pull handle/breaker bar
16 or 17mm socket and ratchet
pliers to get the pins out of the lower ball joint nut
wd40
big flat head screwdriver or something to pop the axle loose
hammer
bottle jack

did this 3 days ago...its quick and easy, really.....
autozone replacement axles cost me 55 and 65....core charge was like 110 total
dont need seals unless they're leaking or you're worried they might get damaged...
1. loosen all the lugnuts and both axle nuts before jacking it up
2. jack it up and pull off the wheels and loosen the axle nuts the rest of the way off
3. take the pin out of the lower ball joint nut, and loosen it with the 17(or 16)mm socket
4. put the bottle jack under the stud of the ball joint and pump it until it's snug, and be carefull not to **** up the threads
5. hit the lower control arm with the hammer a few times real good and it should release the ball joint
6. if you have to you can do the same with the tie rod end, but u dont have to
7. bump the axle out of the hub and push it out of the way(if you turn your wheels to the opposite side of where you're working, you'll have enough slack in it to push it aside)
8. take the big flat head and pry it out from the tranny, EASILY, and it should pop out......sometimes the ring on the end of the axle will hang and give u trouble, but keep at it...
9. wd40 the bottom of the strut(wishbone) and it should slide out ......EASY

and the reason i typed all this is cause i wanted to look like i knew SOMETHING....cya
