Jack it up. Pull off wheels. Undo the axle nut (32 mm - might require impact wrench). Take cotter key out on tie rod end. Take off tie rod nut. Undo through-bolt on the bottom of the fork. Pull the knuckle assembly away and hammer the axle end through the hub. Then just get a prybar and wedge it in between the axle and the tranny. Pop that bad dog out and then you're ready to put the new one in. If some tranny fluid leaks out, that's all right. Stick a rag in the hole if you're not ready to immediately put the new one in. Line up the axle and hammer it into place. Installation is the opposite of removal

 

do you know if i can get some pics to go with those steps??

 

dunno if HT has the link but on honda-acura they have a 15 min to change your axles.

You should be fine to change the axle without being aligned. Just make sure to get an alignment after. You can do one side at a time. You don't have to jack up both sides.
