It's pretty doable, but a big challenge without an impact gun will be getting the axle nuts off. I have done it but I needed a 2 foot breaker bar with 4 foot pipe on the end of it and a bigger dude to stand on it.

I have one of the advance front axles and it has been ok so far (more than 2 years).

Personally, I would just take it to a shop, but one that I could sit there and watch. Each axle has a spring pin on the joint that connects to the spline from the transmission, other than that they are typical of CV axles to change. Take off wheel, remove axle nut, remove spring pin from transmission side of axle, undo ball joint from knuckle, slide axle off of transmission (may require pry bar, but not too bad) (make sure that when you're pulling the knuckle away from the car you aren't yanking on a brake line or an abs sensor wire), slide axle out of hub, install in reverse order. If you're doing it on jack stands, you will want to break loose the axle nuts (don't take them off all the way otherwise the wheel will fall off) with the car still on the ground. Take off the center cap and the little axle nut cover underneath it, and have a buddy press on the brakes with the e-brake up and the car NOT in park.
