Hello and welcome to just answer. Here is the procedure for removing your axle (front drive shaft). I hope this is helpful, and let me know if you need further assistance with this.

FRONT DRIVESHAFTS
NOTE: The only service which is to be performed on the driveshaft assemblies is the replacement of the driveshaft seal boots or replacement of the entire assembly.

If any failure of internal driveshaft components is diagnosed during a vehicle road test or disassembly of the driveshaft, the driveshaft assembly will need to be replaced.

REMOVAL
1.Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a frame contact type hoist. Refer to Hoisting, in the Lubrication and Maintenance section of this manual, for the required lifting procedure to be used for this vehicle.
2.Remove the front wheel and tire assembly from the vehicle.
3.Remove the front caliper assembly from the front steering knuckle assembly Disc Brake Caliper Mounting Refer to Front Disc Brake Service in the Brake Section of this MDS2 for caliper removal procedure
4.Remove front braking disk (rotor) from hub, by pulling it straight off wheel mounting studs Removing Braking Disc
5.Remove the speed sensor cable routing bracket from the strut assembly Speed Sensor Cable Routing Bracket
6.Remove the hub and bearing to stub axle retaining nut Hub And Bearing To Stub Axle Retaining Nut
7.Install Puller, Special Tool 6790 on hub and bearing assembly Puller Installed On Hub/Bearing Assembly , using wheel lug nuts to secure it in place
8.Install a wheel lug nut on wheel stud to protect the threads on the stud. Install a flat blade pry tool to keep hub from turning. Using Puller, force the outer stub axle from the hub and bearing asssembly Removing Stub Axle From Hub/Bearing
9.Dislodge inner tripod joint from stub shaft retaining snap ring on transaxle assembly Inner Tripod Joint Removal From Stub Shaft Inner tripod joint is dislodged from stub shaft retaining snap ring, by inserting a pry bar between transaxle case and inner tripod joint and prying on tripod joint. Only disengage the inner tripod joint from the retaining snap ring. Do not attempt to remove the inner tripod joint from the transmission stub shaft at this time.
CAUTION: The strut assembly to steering knuckle bolts are serrated where they go through strut assembly and steering knuckle. When removing bolts, turn nuts off bolts. DO NOT TURN BOLTS IN STEERING KNUCKLE. If bolts are turned, damage to steering knuckle will result.

10.Remove the strut assembly to steering knuckle attaching bolts Strut Assembly To Steering Knuckle Attaching Bolts
11.Remove the top of the steering knuckle from the strut assembly
CAUTION: When removing outer C/V joint from hub and bearing assembly, do not allow the flinger disk Outer C/V Joint Removal From Hub and Bearing on hub and bearing assembly to become damaged. Damage to the flinger disk will cause dirt and water intrusion into bearing. Premature bearing failure will result.

12.Hold outer C/V joint assembly with one hand. Grasp steering knuckle with other and rotate it out and to the rear of the vehicle, until outer C/V joint clears hub and bearing assembly Outer C/V Joint Removal From Hub and Bearing
13.Remove driveshaft inner tripod joint from transaxle stub shaft. When removing driveshaft, do not pull on interconnecting shaft to remove inner tripod joint from stub shaft. Removal in this manner will separate the spider assembly from the tripod joint housing.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION: The inboard tripod joint retaining circlip and O-ring seal Tripod Joint Retaining Circlip And O-Ring Seal on the transaxle stub shaft are not re-usable. Whenever the inboard tripod joint is removed from the stub shaft, the retaining circlip and O-ring seal MUST BE REPLACED. The retaining circlip and O-ring seal is included in all service kits requiring removal of the inboard tripod joint from the stub shaft

1.Replace O-ring seal and tripod joint retaining circlip Tripod Joint Retaining Circlip And O-Ring Seal on the transaxle stub shaft.
2.Evenly apply a bead of grease, such as Mopar Multi-Purpose Lubricant or an equivalent, around spline of inner tripod joint Grease Applied To Inner Tripod Joint Housing Spline where the O-ring seats against tripod joint. This will spread grease onto stub shaft during tripod joint installation preventing corrosion and help to seal the O-ring
3.Install driveshaft through hole in splash shield. Grasp inner tripod joint in one hand and interconnecting shaft in the other. Align inner tripod joint spline with stub shaft spline on transaxle Inner Tripod Joint Installation On Stub Shaft Use a rocking motion with the inner tripod joint, to get it past the circlip on the transaxle stub shaft

To check that inner tripod joint retaining circlip is locked into tripod joint, grasp inner tripod joint and pull on it by hand. If circlip is locked into tripod joint, tripod joint will not move on stub shaft.
CAUTION: When installing outer C/V joint into the hub and bearing assembly, do not allow the flinger disk on hub and bearing assembly to become damaged. Damage to the flinger disk can cause dirt and water intrusion into bearing and premature bearing failure.
