Question 96' es300 CV Joint Replacement Question

Hi all,
My 96 es300 needs new axles on both sides... the boots failed long ago and now the axles are going.
I was wondering if anyone can help me. Im trying to purchase parts all in one go so I dont have to pay extra shipping.

Does a CV Half Shaft Assembly come with everything I would need for this replacement?
Do I need a new CV Joint Boot or Output Shaft Seal?
Is there anything else I would need to replace?

Thanks for the help!!!

Look for kits that come with the axle, grease, and a gasket. (FEQ brand shown, left hand)

nowadays I thought these shafts were pretty cheap to replace as a complete unit. lotsa work to rebuild.

i was told on the driver's side you can remove inner first (bolted on like a VW style), then remove, pull out the outer side and not have to touch the hub, tie rods, etc... Anyone done this, or able to verify? I have to swap out 2 tonight...one from my parts car and one into the daily driver.
