I have disconnected the trans side when I dropped the engine. Now I want to take the axle off to inspect the CV joints.
I have removed the 4 bolts from the hub side but the unit is still fighting me to come out. I did see the pins holding the other side in and figured it just took some force. After running out of force, I checked the Haynes manual and it seems to say I need to take off the large central nut and cotter pin on the other side. Before I go this route, any advice? Thanks.

If ya pull the stub axle out, leave the car on the stands till you reinstall it.
You'll also have to remove the drivers side heat exchanger or the shift rod to get the axle out. |

Since he said the engine and tranny are already out, he can probably skip removing the HE and the shift rod (which DO NOT have to come off, BTW, even with the engine and tranny in place). The Cap'n |
