If it is the passenger side you will have to jack the car up, remove the wheel and crawl under the car to remove 2 nuts holding the intermediate shaft bearing retainer to the block. You will have to remove the large nut on the CV (1 1/4" I think) - put a screwdriver through the caliper into one of the rotor vents to keep it from spinning. After you remove the nut (basically 4 or 5 jam nuts held together with sheet metal and a washer) you will remove the caliper and hang that off the coil spring. Remove the nut and bolt holding the pinch joint to the ball joint and seperate the two. This may be hard to do at first - if you struggle with it pound a chisel into the back of the pinch joint to open it up and make the removal easier.
After you remove the knuckle from the lower control arm you can push the CV out of the wheel hub (perfect time to check for wheel bearing play) and then remove the entire outer cv and intermediate cv from the car. When you remove the cv from the transmission it will start to leak oil - just jam a rag into the open hole and it will prevent fluid loss.
What you have removed it 2 pieces - if there is play in the intermediate shaft bearing replace the entire shaft - the bearing is not serviceable. The intermediate and outer and clipped together - out the intermediate into a vice and pound the outer cv off with a chisel by hitting the lip of steel where the two shafts join up.
Clip new cv to intermediate and reverse order to put back together - make sure to re-torque cv nut after driving the car a short bit (slowly around the block or up and down your driveway) to ensure the cv is seated and to prevent wheel bearing damage.
IF it is the drivers side CV it is the same process except there is no intermediate shaft and the cv is clipped into the transmission which makes it a PITA to remove. Feel free to ask me questions as I've done this more times then I can count removing motors and transmissions....
I had mad vibration and very slick clicking from the passenger side a while back - the cv turned out to be ok, but this was my main problem.
The bearing had separated from the intermediate shaft causing a
load of vibration- combine that with the tight boot of a new cv and it pulled the intermediate shaft out of the trans leaving me stranded on the side of the freeway pouring out ~$15/quart of Ford honey...
