Touching the tie rod can necessitate an alignment, though.

You're just disconnecting it, not really tampering with it. To me that's much safer + cheaper than disconnecting and possibly destroying a lower ball joint.

Installing CV axles; so easy a girl can do it!

Well done!

Chauvinist.

This was really for noobs, people (perhaps some women) who have never attempted to fix their own car.

Really... If you are to say "well done", you ought not insult me first.

**HappyGilmore** · 03-17-2010, 06:37 PM

That was very well done

props

i had to use the "pickle fork" ball joint sperator in doing mine, thats the only one autozone carry's for a ball joint remover. i tried that utube video but that didnt work.

good write up, you make it look much eaiser than when i did mine for the first time.

cvc7chris · 03-19-2010, 03:05 AM

wow a chick changing an axle..that's sexy as hell...

weezy911 · 03-21-2010, 12:10 AM

mine snapped completly because the bolt off the stabilizer bar broke and the wheel cocked backk and got stuck and the boot completlely ripped in half and is now hanging(right side)...will it be harder to change it like that

renegade28x · 03-21-2010, 12:19 AM

**LadyG** · 03-21-2010, 01:15 PM

wheezy911-

Something else could be wrong, and without pics, I am going to have a hard time helping you. Try to explain a little better, or posting some pics and I'll be happy to help.

To all of yall who gave me props, Thanks!

weezy911 · 03-21-2010, 01:26 PM

the halfshaft has snapped where the boot connects coming from the tranny(meaning the car can no longer move) and i wanted to know would it be harder to replace the axle on the tranny side

**LadyG** · 03-21-2010, 02:03 PM

If that was to happen to me, I would try to pull it strait out by whatever was left of the axle.
If you can't get a good grip on it, try working a flat head where the axle meets the tranny, and try to pry it out.

USE Caution, not to warp or break the splines inside the tranny, cause if you get it out, but F* up the splines, its gonna be a beotch to get a new one in there, perhaps even perm damage to tranny.

I've recently lost my air compressor at my house. It probably doesn't matter since I'm moving this week, but OMG air tools make the job so much nicer, and you don't really notice it until you start using air tools, then have to go back to doing everything by hand.

Nice write up though. The visuals definitely help are there are never enough quality write ups

**LadyG** · 03-29-2010, 10:13 PM

Once I had to swap axles-weekly-in my ex's ED hatch.
(I was 16 @ the time, so not recently.

)
He caught rides to work with my Dad, and left me with a fresh axle (good 'ole "life-time warranty" axles) and ... hand tools.
Granted, he did it the first time. Showed me how to do it, then I did it.
Every week.

For about 2 months.

(There is back story as to HOW this car came to eat axles weekly, but that is not for this thread.)

That said,
Air Compressor= WIN

P3dr0 · 04-08-2010, 05:34 PM

how the hell did u manage to keep ur shoes white????? lol nice work though im gonna do this as sson as i get my tax money

**LadyG** · 04-08-2010, 05:57 PM

Lolz, I wipe them off.

A bit of advice?
Its cheaper (If you can) to pull the old axles off before going to get your new ones. You won't have to pay the core charge.

It would have saved me 70 bucks up front. (I changed both axles)
I got it back, but I would have rather not have parted with it in the first place.

Grumpys93 · 04-09-2010, 08:31 PM

very nice write up monica should have called me i would have loved to come out. But ya there is a trick u can use with a crow bar or a big pipe

I am loving the dirty hands with pretty pink nail polish
