    Nope. Look over page 1, I have it all there.

    The only real criticism I have gotten on my methods is the use of a pickle fork to remove the ball joint. There is a specialty tool that is a safer alternative to the fork method.

    I would say that if you can find some OEM axles, with warranty, go for those. But for those of us who use Napa, Discount, ect... the new axles they carry (with warranty) are the better option than the re-mans.

    You can return the either if they are defective, but you stand a better chance of not having defective axles if you buy them new. Less labor, more driving= win.

      What do you guys think of the NEW axles with brand:

      Cadone Select
      Master Pro Select
      GCK Industrial
      Fidanza

      These are found at Kragen. Which one is better? I think the Cadone and the Master Pro Select with the new ones being just $10 more than the Remans.

      What do you think a skinny guy like me at 135lbs and 5ft 10" could get that big 36mm axle nut off with no air tools?
      Will the electric impact wrench works? How much torque do you really need to get that big nut off and on?

      Thanks.

        Give me a lever long enough ... and I shall move the world.

        As for axles, I haven't heard of GCK, Cardone is a standard OEM replacement, and Fidanza has a reputable aftermarket name. Master Pro Select just sounds cheesy.

        Go with what you can afford. If you can afford all of them, check Honda. I personally just got the cheapest one Kragen offered.

          I know this an old thread but I have just a couple questions.

          After I put the axle nut back on a couple threads to beat the hub loose, am I striking the nut or the hub ?

          How do you break the c/v loose from tranny ?

          Does my 92 LX need the ABS ring that came with my Cardone Select axles ?

              Thanks for the help. I think I got the muscle being 6'1" 230 and a steel worker. They were also out only about 6 months ago when we did inner and outer rods, ball joints, upper control arms, hubs, rotors, links and calipers so hopefully not to stuck.

                ohh i see
                if it doesn't want to come out use a prybar (or in my case a flat screwdriver) and pry it off from the intermediate shaft(left side) if you are doing the right side put the prybar in between the end of the axle and where the transmission starts.

                          Not sure if anyone said this: Be careful if you pry the axle out of the trans. There's a seal back there that'll cause you some trouble. Also, make sure you get the axle back in all the way. I compressed the axle and hit the end with a hammer.
