Need to replace front cv, have done it on a front wheel-drive car before. Is it done the same way or is there anything else I should know. Thanks for any advice.

 

It's pretty much the same. You may have to remove the hub/bearing assembly from the steering knuckle to be able to get enough room to remove the CV shaft, but then again, you may have a flanged connection at the diff which may allow you to turn the wheel all the way in one direction and pop the CV shaft out without removing much of anything else.
