Usually you don't need to replace the axles unless the CV boots are broken. Once you get the axle nut off (36 mm) you need to take the brake caliper bracket off (2) 15 mm bolts, then there are 3 bolts (13 mm) that hold the hub in the steering knuckle. Just be careful not to damage your ABS connector or wire putting the new one in.

That's true.. I guess they can get worn with age.. Did yours shift hard into drive or reverse?

Thanks for the info. Her car only has 48,000 miles on it. None of this should have happened if she just would have drove it semi-normal.
