Its not that bad.
take the wheel off, undo the ball joint, undo the axle nut, loosen the upper strut nuts, pop the axle out of the knuckle, pop the axle out of the trans.
assembly is reverse.

Constantine has a 2g, its different suspension up front, but its not hard tho.
you can just get a boot kit for it, but you still have to take the axle out, then you have to take the axle apart. Piss on that and buy a new/rebuilt axle.

remove axle nut, brake line bolt, tie-rod end nut, lower control arm bolt and nut then upper contol arm ball joint nut. Hit the knuckle closer to tie-rod end nut to break it loose same thing on the upper control arm ball joint. Now the knuckle drops down, slide knuckle to your right to separate the hub from axle. Grab pry bar and look of a groove just after the inner boot and wedge it then tap it with a hammer(watch out fluid will leak out). Slide whole axle through lower control arm. Installation is reverse. Just make sure you hear a "click" sound when u put the axle back in the tranny. I think that's about it.

You're going to have to drain your tranny or else like mentioned above, you're going to get a decent amount of fluid on the ground.
Make sure you dont try to yank it out by the axle its self, but pop it out of the tranny using a pry bar or a crow bar, it doesnt take much force to have them pop out on these cars. There is a lip you can use to pop it out with so you dont score the tranny.
If you need help, I can pop by and probably give you a hand. It only takes about 30-45 mins, including draining and filling the tranny to do.

you don't have to drain the trans, only replace what comes out. And if its on a tilt because you only lift one side of the car, very little will come out.
I also suggest you don't do the tie rod end as its just extra work for nothing. The knuckle will pivot on the tie rod end and move out of the way.

With the front end jacked up and the angle it is at, its going to lose a decent amount of fluid, draining and re-filling almost seems like a better idea. As opposed to greasing up the side of the tranny and axle dust seal at the same time. Oh and another thing, do not damage the dust seal. |
