I'm not sure where your hangup is...
If the axle is loose at the tranny/diff end and you have is loose at the hub end you will have to undo something to move the hub away a short distance to allow the axle to come out. In front, the three bolts holding the ball joint to the control arm are easy and won't affect the alignment.

if you're talking about the front half-shafts, there's pins going through the end (transmission side) that lock it to the tranny, you'll see the pins going right through the middle of the shaft on the end. Make sure not to pull too hard after you get the pins out or you'll pull the shaft-ends out of the tranny! (I made that mistake, gave me a couple white hairs but it went back in ok).
Good luck! |
