Okay i need to get out the axle! see any steps i need to do?

EVILTWIN · 09-02-2008, 12:52 PM

ball joint? you can use a pry bar to wedge in there, there are also "forks" you can use to pop that joint appart.

that is the tierod end, put the nut you took off it back on it upside down and give it a few good wacks with a hammer it will pop out.
The wheel studs are pressed in, you are going to need to pull off the whole hub assembley. (make sure you mark your alignment points). The hub is also pressed together. You may need to take it to a machine shop to get it apart. (unless you have a press).

You dont have to take the hub apart to replace a stud. Just shave a little off the side of the hub and a stud fits through on the side, mate up a lug nut and torque it down to seat the stud in the hub.

so i'm going to have to take off that tierod end to get the axle out? do you know when i'm taking off the transmission if i have to take out the air intake?

I don't usually disconnect the ball joints or the tie rod ends. If you take out the two strut bolts (mark the eccentric bolt to the strut so you don't need an alignment after) and you can maneuver the hub just enough to get the axle out, and then you can pull it out of the tranny. But I guess that would be for the more advanced as a time saver.

On top, I take off the intake, battery, and washer fluid bottle. Which gives you access to the slave cylinder bolts, engine and trans. mount bolts.

Here's a manual that helped me out my first time: http://www.ecanfix.com/users/manualcd/gift/3s/3s_mt.pdf

I have heard that but I didn't see another way, i would have to look again. The only way i could see to get at it was pressing the hub apart, this was along time ago when I had to replace a broken stud on my car, If there are better ways to do it i am interested. Have pics of what you shaved?

Pry bar between the axle and tranny. It has a circlip on it so it's somewhat of a pain to get out. Just have to keep prying. I sometimes hit it with a chisel and a hammer and it pops out. It shows you the proper way in that link I gave you.

Also for the stud, as far as I know you have to press the hub out of the knuckle. I don't think notching the stud works...I guess I could be wrong?
