Is it very difficult to change the front axle seals on my Suburban? What is involved in the removal of the axle shafts? Can I do this , or do I need Some special tools?

NO SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED. YOU WILL SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF MONEY IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF, BUT ITS TIME CONSUMING. BASICALLY YOU NEED TO REMOVE THE CV AXLES THEN THE AXLES POP OUT. USUALLY WITH A HAMMER AND A LONG PUNCH BEHIND IT. GOOD LUCK. LET US KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT.
