Need help replacing cv half shafts 1982 280zx

I have a torn boot on d/s and grease leaking out on p/s. I bought the p/s half shaft from Oreilly's for $75 and I found a source for one on ebay for the d/s for $100. Dealer wants $900 for the pair. So when I searched the FSM for instructions, those pages are blank in the RA section (page 7). Also my Haines does not cover it either. Can someone point me in the right direction for instructions on how to r and r the half shafts? Must not be too hard since the dealer only wanted an hour per side. Thanks.

they just pull out once you get the bolts and wheels out of the way. Or at least they should. I found one once that was impossible.

Well that sounds simple enough. I guess if I get in a jam I can just put it back together and drive it to the mechanic a couple blocks away. So would I pry it out of the differential with a big screwdriver? I think I saw something on utube where they did that but it was not a Datsun. Thanks Rogerz.

Diff side pops out (pry). Hub side unbolts. ***Be careful when unbolting... there's a spring in there***
