Thank you Scotty. You made this look so easy! Your video helped me tackle this myself and as a woman the only thing I didn't have was some of that elbow grease RUGH!
The only extra tip I would say is leave the nut on when hammering the new axle into the transmission. Otherwise you risk damaging the threads.

Great tip on putting grease on the end of the axle. I would extend that to put grease or better yet anti-seize on the splines on both ends of the axle to make removal easier next time. Rusted in cv axles are no fun.
Also I wouldn't recommend to anyone to hit the tie rod on the castle nut like that. You can easily bend a prong on the castle nut and you'll never get it back on. Hit the steering knuckle where the tie rod goes through it instead. Works great and no risk of damaging anything.

I love that there are people like you out there that make these kind of videos. It reduces so much anxiety with the pleasant way you address car issues. Its so helpful for the average woman who has limited knowledge about cars and would like to to understand whats going on.

Great video!  I tried replacing the CV axle on my 95 Subaru Legacy last week and could not get the lower control arm to separate.  Whacked it with a sledge like you did, heated it with a torch, tried pretty much everything.  I even put the bolt on loosely like you did there and jacked the car up, then dropped it but it still wouldn't budge!
