Yes it is... It's all inclusive.

I've been tempted to post a "how to change an axle in 15 minutes" DIY because I couldn't find one when I was searching... but I found most of the info in yours so I never posted it. 'been wondering if it was useful enough to post... You showed all the same work except for one bolt.

 

damn, wish i could change my axles in 15 minutes, it took me 8 hours total to do both sides and LOTS of frustration and broken tools.

 

:hugglez: Always the critic....

I can do axles that fast now. It stems from breaking them all the time and figuring out the fastest/best way to get them out and back in... and sometimes at the track. :chuckles:

Awww... fun times...

 

Critic? I thought it was props! Since you put it that way... I'm gonna post how to remove that ONE bolt!!! :rofl:

It really saves time when you use the right tools. That sort of goes without saying, but it's so true.

 

Yeah thanks for that DIY. It helped where the Helm's failed.

 

congrats man. this is something i'm skurred to tackle.. even tho im doing a mini-me and a turbo install just prior ahha. but ya i've looked over your DIY west coast and im deffinitly printing that shit out.

but i've heard alot of people saying its easier to unbolt the lca and sway and just swing something aside then messing with the pins. wasn't really sure what they meant since i haven't gotten down there to look. but it was a route around doing the ball joint pins i think.

 

congratz on your clutch job!

Flames times a million on your spinnin Dub Caps

 

I probably could have done it without touching the ball joints and damper forks, but really they were no sweat, the hardest part was I had to go to Schuck's and rent a ball joint remover for $6. If you don't remove the driveshafts it is going to make it a lot harder to put back together, at least for me anyway. If i had to do it again and i had a chain hoist, i'd skip it.

:P They've become a part of me now. All my friends love em, at least two girls have "Ben Spinners" for my name in their cell phone book.

 

Ack! I hate pickle forks. They're evil.

Save yourself $6 and some time... just whack the side of the lower ball joint with a big hammer once, then lift the whole hub assembly out. That's really all it takes, and you won't risk damaging the LBJ boot. If it's stubborn, jack up the rotor a bit first, then whack it once more. *pop* That trick works on almost every import.

But great jorb! If you ever need to separate tie rods or steering knuckles, the fork will come in very handy because those joints like to get very stuck.

 

sorry, you guys are wrong...


worked for me both sides, hella easy...ive tried the pickle fork way and the 2-jaw pulley ways.
