Default CV joint/ball/pin replacement for front shaft?

Anyone have a link to a guide on how to do this and a source for the kit?

I did this once on my TJ back in 98 but I can't remember where I sourced the kit or recall how I did it. I remember it was a pita and I really needed 7 tiny monkey hands to hold it all in place.

I think if I had cv's they would be the first thing I would change, especially since they need replacing.
