as long as the front end is off the floor and the stearing lock is off, the drive shafts will slide out of the hub and through the center of the lower wishbone, you may have to slightly turn the hub away from straight ahead to get them out, thats why i say both wheels off the floor, so you can manipulate the hub a bit.
it took me about 2 hours each side, in the rain, without any experiance and stopping for cups of tea and chats with passers by.
to be honest i found that getting the nuts off the drive shaft flange the hardest part, you do realy need to warm them up with a blow lamp, (not red hot, but gently with a medium flame and then you will see a puff of smoke come off the bolt when the thread lock has melted. you can get new thread lock for replacing the nuts from halfords and the such.
