need some help/tips on how to remove the passenger side axle

[mitsugsx95]

Im finally fed up with this leaking problem and am going to be getting a new axle seal for the passenger side front axle. I have read the FAQ on the CV-joint boots and have a general idea of what I need to do to replace the seal. I would just like some help from people that have already done this or anything related to removing the axel. Any tips on how to do it, what not to do, what needs to go where, would be appreciated. Thanks

So I assume you got the Drivers side out easy huh? Well, When your under there, Look for like a Green, maybe even Rusted Cup lookin thing, Since ur Replacing the Seals Anyways. just Pry hard with a nice Flat Screw Driver. itle pop. just DONT pull on the Axle, you can tare the boot and cause it pull out of its Sockets, and well. Distroy the axle. Theres a metel C-clip thats holding it in there, just Pry, itle come out.

No, i only need to replace the passenger side seal. Could I change the seal without taking the spindle off? Im trying to do it the easiest way possible.

Well, i just talked to davegst99 and he gave me some pointers on how to do it. Just unbolt the lateral control arm from the frame and the spindle assembly should swing out of the way, and give enough room to pop the axle out of the trans.
Im going to get the parts and try and replace it this Fri, so I'll post an update.
