Try to get hold of an Haynes #1641 manual for Isuzu Pick-up and Trooper

You may wish to read this first...
Either way, removing the half shaft assembly is a lot of work. You have to drop the axle housing to remove the complete inner CV joint and you need to disassemble the hub / rotor / spindle assembly to free the outer CV joint. If all you need is new boots, then this is way too much work to do the job.
The method I describe here is a short cut to changing the boots. The idea is to separate the inner CV joint with the axle housing, spindle, hub etc. still on the vehicle. After doing so, you can pull the inner CV joint apart to clean it, then change the outer boot and clean that joint as well."
