Once you open the hood, the half shaft is located behind the power steering fluid reservoir. You'll have to remove the reservoir tank first, then the half shaft slides out.

You will need to take it in to have it fixed. That is the best way to fix the problem. Or you can go get a manual from the auto parts store. Tell them the make and model of the car. But the best thing to do is it take it in.
