but it isnt that hard, once youve done it once, redoing it is faily easy and fast too

my axle job took 3 weeks and cost a lot of money. damn seized parts. 14 tons of pressure and the damn axle wouldn't move

I take it you've remove the lower strut bolts - cut the steering whhel hard right & pried OUT at the Tranny (you don't want to try & beat the shaft INTO the Tranny - must have some slack)

Be aware you CAN take out the wheel bearing if you just beat the shit out of it - You can actually cup the inner Circlip retaining the Inner wheel bearing if you get outright pissed & violent - Put some Heat (propane Torch) on the outer hub as you fram it & turn it as you do - Might want to replace Inner wheel bearing seal & repack bearing if you heat it...

YAY... finally that lil son of a bia came out.. i came down to using a axel press and i tapped it then sluged the shit out of the axel and it started moving and slowy she finaly came out.

but no i removed the intire shock then upper a-arm bolts and it came easy. everything turned out good to my knowledge but im having a friend cominv over just to be safe.

thanks for the info
