i just changed the driver's side front axle seal on my 07 last week. I took the cv axle right out. started by removing axle nut, disconnecting vacuum lines to iwe, then undid iwe from knuckle. took out sway bar link, separated upper ball joint from knuckle then swung knuckle out and pushed axle in and apart from knuckle. popped cv from diff with a pry bar then changed the seal. make sure that your diff vent isn't plugged. if it is, the diff will pressurize and push fluid out any or all of the seals.
