porcupine73 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Wow that's great news and thanks for the pics! The new one looks so shiny and perty. Plus it came with a new axle nut so that's nice. Where'd you get those? So you must've not had much trouble getting off the old axle nut and I can't quite tell if those had the spring/roll pins holding the inner joint to the diff stub?

Dickensheets Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 I got them at Aotozone, $75 after the core return. They came with new axle nuts and spring pins. My axle nuts came off right away with an 18" cheater bar. I popped the pinch bolt off the ball joint and the axle practically fell out of the car. What a relief not to have to wrestle with anything for a change. Next I'll do the one in my jeep, this was a good practice mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcspeer Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 35 min. is good time, I have replaced a few and I cant get close to that time. But I do spend lots of time keeping my dog from hauling stuff off. I got them at Aotozone, $75 after the core return. They came with new axle nuts and spring pins.
