To replace the front axle shafts, get the vehicle up off the floor by using jackstands, unclamp the wheel and take off the tire. Detach the stabilizer shaft link, and the front Axle Shaft nut while using a drift or a flat-bladed tool so that the rotor does not rotate. Aid in disconnecting the tie rod assembly from the Steering Knuckle and unplug the Ball Joint from the Steering Knuckle. Cautions as drive axle(s) should not be removed while moving the truck. Separate the front axle from the front Axle Shaft bearing, by partially re-installing the nut to prevent damage to the thread using the j 28733-b (Front Hub Spindle Remover). Remove the front axle from the transaxle, use the j 33008 (Axle Shaft Remover), j 29794 (Extension), j 2619-01 (Slide Hammer) on the right side and frame for the left side with a flat-bladed tool uploaded into the groove on the front Axle Shaft tri-pot joint to help in separation. For installation, position the front axle into the transaxle where the retain ring is well seated. Replace the bearing and the front Axle Shaft with a new one to the front Axle Shaft, reconnect the Ball Joint or outer tie rod assembly and put a new front Axle Shaft nut that should be tightened to 160 nm (118 ft. Lbs.) at the same time as applying a drift or a flat-bladed tool to prevent the movement of the rotor. Lastly, reinstall the stabilizer shaft link, the wheel and tire, raise the vehicle, and check the transaxle fluid and wheel alignment.
