What are the NECESSARY tools for cv axle replacement? PLEASE HELP, pressed for time!
I really dont know if this belongs in tech q & a because it seems like a simple question..
I looked up alotta threads for the cv axle replacement, I need to replace both because both my boots are torn in the front and I have that shudder symptom, but none of the threads tell me... WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED? (EVERYTHING!) I looked up the tools you can rent @ autozone and noticed there's stuff like 4WD 6lug spindle nut, 32 axle nut socket, 4wd spindle puller attachment, cv clamp tool, etc. What do I need? this includes the stuff to remove the bolts (excluding the wheel... I know that at LEAST :P) Can anyone recommend me a good yet cheap place to buy tools? The How-To's left out the tools list. |

A good basic set should get you by. I have done it and it didn't take any special tools. There was a thread the other day about good tool sets and most agreed that Sears has the best tools for the money and they are replaced if broken. Good luck.

You'll need;
-3/16" punch for the roll pin on the DOJ -32mm Socket and breaker bar for the axle nut (Torque wrench for reinstall) -Sledge or dead blow hammer and scrap wood to pound the axle out of the hub -14mm and 17mm sockets/wrenches to disconnect ball joint

A drift is ussually needed to free the ball joint from the knuckle too.
