i sheared the bolts that attach the cv joint to the spindle at the parade autocross...i assume they backed out slightly and when i was shifting into 3rd on a left hand sweeper...boom...that was it and i had to park it... took it apart and was hoping to wire tie it while it is out of the vehicle where it is easier to work on but getting it back in with the spindle attached is not working....any suggestions aside from dropping the motor....?

While the car is on the ground loosen the large nut on the stub axle. Jack the car up and remove the wheel. Unbolt the cv joint at the trans. Take the large nut off the stub axle. Remove the lower shock bolt. Lift the trailing arm as high as you can and slide the axle above the transmission. Push the stub axle out and slide the axle further over the trans. Lower the trailing arm and slide the axle back off the trans. Reverse procedure for installation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I did this a few years ago after I was told it couldn't be done without removing the engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I just realized you want to install the axle? Just reverse my less than explicit instructions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
