first drain the tranny lube from transmission. take off the spindle nut with either an impact or cheater bar. it's a 32mm socket. then take off the spindle nut retainer and cotter pin. remove the 3 lower ball joint nuts and bolts. pry off lower control arm from ball joint. swing suspension hub out of the way so the cv shaft can be removed from the hub. then the axle will have to be removed with a pry bar from the tranny this is tricky but keep doing it....the passenger side is easier for some reason. then clean the old cv axle seal inside the tranny. now would be a good time to put a new one in. and reverse the order when putting the new one in. for whatever reason do not start the car when the axles are out my buddy f'ed his mazda 3 when he did this..put a hole right through the tranny.
alright sweet thanks! could i possibly do this in a day? that would be amazing if so. Yea we should have a few meets guys, no matter if its cold, Its minnesota don't expect anything less of the weather. lol
