Geoff, I've done both the driveshafts on my S60, they're fairly straight forward although you may have to release the control arm/ball joint from the hub to allow the outer CV joint to come out of the hub.
The drivers side will have an added step of releasing the carrier bearing from a mount before the shaft can come out. On my S60 it was 2 10mm bolts and then it's off once the outer CV is free from the hub.
The passenger side is easiest, although you'll need to place a couple of flat bladed screwdrivers behind the inner CV to unclip it from the transmission case.
I did a write-up on it somewhere, that is if it hasn't been deleted. I'm happy to send some photos or post them on this thread if it helps.

Ok, well the passenger side is the easier one to do. You may get a 'dribble' of transmission oil when you take the old one out. The new one will just 'clip' in to the transmission, that is assuming that it fits in the same way as the one on the P2 models (should do).
My recommendation is a company called J&R CV Joints based in Birmingham, they do discount driveshafts, brand new units (not refurbished) and they come with a 2 year warranty. Got both the S60 ones from here, ordered them online and they were about £50 each including carriage. I've had no issues with the product which they claim meets or exceeds OE quality.....

My only advise is you cannot re-use the centre stretch bolt - a new one has to be used every time.

Double check the fitment with the seller just to make sure. By the way, I'm surprised J&R CV Joints don't do the whole shaft for your car, they seem to do just about everything else.
If it's the nearside one Geoff, it's pretty straight forward, just use a pry bar to persuade it out of the gearbox.
Cheers lads hopefully have one in next few days
