Partial half a$$ed CV axle DIY *pics*

So, I had a mad click that I thought was coming from my CV axles, even though the boots wern't torn, I just figured that they somehow slowly ran themselves dry after 10 years...

so, I went to purems.com and almost 300$ later I had the two new front axles on my doorstep.

so, here's a partial DIY, if someone wants to add to it and make it an official DIY, fell free to quote me and take my pics.



1) loosen 17mm alen bolt that connects the axle

2)loosen lug nuts

3) jack up car and remove wheel

4) remove 16mm pinch bolt using 16mm wrenches or sockets



5) with a rubber mallet tap connecting arms up until they come up loose from the pinch "deal"



6) using a 8mm tripple square remove the 6 bolts holding the axle to the trans.

7) pull the abs speed sensor straight out

8) strat loosening the 14mm axle bolt, then tap it in (pushing the axle in)

9) bend the joint of the axle and remove.

-now repeat everything in reverse....

special thanks to Kyle (pyropenguin) for doin all the fun stuff for me

hope this helps someone eventually...

shoulda taken more pics, but oh well...

the old passenger side wheel end CV boot was not torn but was filled with water!
