Yes, the half shaft on that side needs to be removed from the car to replace the CV boots. Does this help:

COMPONENTS

1999 > G 1.5 SOHC > Drive Shaft & Axle
REMOVAL

1.Remove the hub caps and loosen the drive shaft nut.

2.Lift up the vehicle and remove the tires.

3.Disconnect the tie rod end ball joint from the knuckle.

Be sure to tie a cord to the special tool and to a nearby part.

4.Disconnect the lower arm ball joint from the lower arm.

5.Drain the transaxle fluid.

6.Insert a pry bar between the transaxle case and joint case (D.O.J), and pry the drive shaft from the transaxle case.
a.Be sure to apply the pry bar to the rib of the transaxle case.
b.Do not insert the pry bar too deep, as this may cause damage to the oil seal. [max. depth : 7 mm (0.28 in.)].

7.Pull out the drive shaft from the transaxle case.
a.Place a shop towel in the hole of the transaxle case to prevent contamination.
b.Support the drive shaft properly.
c.Replace the retainer ring each time the drive shaft is removed from the transaxle case.
d.For automatic transaxle equipped vehicles, insert a pry bar into the groove of the drive shaft to remove the drive shaft from the transaxle.
e.Do not pull on the drive shaft; doing so will damage the T.J.: be sure to use the pry bar.

8.Using special tool (09526-11001), force the drive shaft out of the hub.
When the drive shaft is forced out, keep the spacer from falling out of place.

I think most folks that repair these themselves swap the old part for a remanufactured one. Costs is little more than the rebuild kits (if available), but less complicated and negates the need for the special tools used to crimp the boots in place.

to replace the cv joint itself is not for the average joe, replacing the axle doesn't take a genius to do it. with the right tools it's easy
