would u happen to know what size wrenches/sockets you need??? i assume for the axle nut, its at least a 28, and im not sure about the ball joint.

im getting them from a junkyard, i'll take a risk

ditto what <b>internetautomart</b> said. its actually i very painless process.

the axle nut is 36 mm. you will also need a 17, 18, and 19mm for the easy stuff. then a 12 mm on the passenger side to remove the 3 bolts the are holding the axle in. I did this to my car on Monday of this week. never tried it before. it took me 4 hours.
