pulling an axel - Page 2

It is a good idea to drain the tranny before pulling the axle so it wont make a mess. I usually loosen but not remove the axle nut while the car is on the ground. It is safer in my opinion to do it this way since these bearing nut is torqued to about 130-180 ft/lbs.

Tie your caliper onto the strut spring to keep out of the way (or were you going to upgrade?) If the axle wont come out of the knuckle, pull the axle out w/knuckle and tap it on the cement. You'll want to replace all your bushings and ball joints anyway.

thx tom, ill keep this in mind

and ty everyone else too!
