I'll be replacing the front right CV axle soon. Are there any seals/bearings I should replace on the transmission while I have the axle out?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Rockauto or advanced auto parts. I’m not sure yet but both places have an axle with a lifetime warranty.Where are you getting the axle from?
I’ll make sure to blast some heavy metal over the speakers while I work because loud music =more strength. Or maybe make some leverage contraption. I’ll also be replacing the control arm in conjunction because it’s making way too much noise for comfort.I don't remember the brand of front axle I got, but I got it at Advance Auto Parts for less than the price + shipping from RockAuto. As far as I know, nothing else needs to be replaced in conjunction with the axle. I took everything apart to replace it, but then couldn't get the axle to come free from the trans. Tried for over an hour. Got so frustrated at it that I put it all back together and took it to a shop.
When I was replaced my first control arm, I put a jack under the pickle fork to leverage it. After every couple of pumps, I would use a hammer to bang the fork back into place. It went surprisingly smooth. If I come up with anything crafty, I'll make sure to post a picture.Maybe I should have tried some heavy metal!!! I was torquing on mine with a 3 foor pry bar before I gave up... hopefully you'll have better luck!
