- Removed Tie Rod
- Removed bolts holding CV/axle (Engine side)
- Removed large axle nut (Wheel Side)
- Slid CV/Axle assembly out
- Dissasembled CV & replaced boot

Good glad it worked out for you. About how long did it take?

Took me a little over two hours.... but I'd bet I could do it again in about an hour... Really wasn't bad at all, the hardest part was trying to find the 'stopper ring' within the CV joint, couldn't see it with all the grease.
Have to say thanks to Greg (PRG) for calling me right back and let'n me know the torque for the axle nut.

You should have sent me a pm, I could have looked it up for you. I can't believe I forgot to post that when I posted the steps. When I am off, I have tt up all the time, and right now I am on vacation for 21 days.

Hey Brad... Thanks again for posting those steps for me, they helped 100%.. Especially when it came to taking the CV joint apart... I would have NEVER found that dang 'stopper ring'.......

You are welcome, just wish I hadn't forgot to put the torque for the axle nut.
