OrionStang Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) Half shafts aren't too hard. You shouldn't have to lift the motor, but you may have to remove the wheel hub/brake rotor to get the shaft in/out. Don't know about the chassis crack.

LOOKINFORSPL? Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 This is not a complicated fix and like myself on this forum has replaced their axles. normally on a front wheel drive you have to break loose and remove axle nut.( its the one in the center of the rotor) after that movig the wheel assembly left or right usually will let the axle come out of the wheel hub(with a little persuasion)then you can use a small prybar to pop axle out of tranmission.need anything else let me know,if i missed soething let me know someone.this can be done if you are mechanically inclined in about 2 hours or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
