How hard is it to replace my passenger side cv halfshaft? The boot has been torn for two years now that all the grease is out of it it is makeing noises when I turn and you can wiggle it back and forth. What all do I have to remove to acess it? Thanks'

 

go to a close by tire shop and have them losen that 36mm nut.
otherwise, it appears to be very simple. knock lower ball joint loose so that you can turn hub far out and away to clear the splined end; disconnect flange bolts, take it out.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN REBUILD IT INSTEAD OF BUYING NEW ONE??? not that hard, actually.
then again, rebui8lt ones with warranty are so cheap.....

 

Yeah 60 bucks and I can get a new one with a warranty! I can get the 36 mm nut I just replaced that hub assembly not to long ago. But alls I have to do is get the ball join out of the way to access it? Thanks' for your help.

 

all i had to do to pull the hub out. looks scary, but it really pivots well. i found that those trucks very widely in structure, but i definitely did not have upper ball joint removed.

haynes, actually, tells you simply to loosen and remove 36mm bolt, undo flange bolts, lower inner end and pull it out of the hub without touching anything else. go figure, might work.

 

K thanks'!

 

have fun and good luck. i am very careful on anything that sounds to be that easy.

done countless struts on many cars - spent 4 hrs of total frustration doing them on my civic yesterday. barely can move fingers. so, if it sounds easy - be prepared.

 

Hah yeah I will!!
