If this is the first time that you have had to replace CV's I would recommend that you watch how it is done. Take it to someone who knows how to replace them and ask if you can watch or help.
I know there are not that many
places that will let you do that and I was very lucky when I started out with a 4WD vehicle that I was able to watch how things were done.
A good workshop manual would also be a good starting point and having all the right tools. Do one side at a time and plan to take a lot longer than you think that you will need.
With digital cameras it is easy to take a photo of the set up of the CV assemberly and other parts that will have to be taken off and replaced when you are ready for the final assemberly.
Good luck and I don't believe that there are any short cuts when doing this type of job.
