Wait... we still talking about a Z car? There shouldn't be any "front" cv joints.

Loosen the nut & knock the ends loose from the strut "nuckle." Then just slide off the old ones & slide on the new ones. If I remember correctly, Nissan either doesn't make them anymore, or are way overpriced. I just bought a universal set from AutoZone for $12. They required a lil cutting & zip ties to keep them in place, but they are in there snug now!
