CV axle replacement

Hello,

There is a guide to help walk you through the CV axle replacement with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I need to know if its the left or right axle and what your zip code is?Look under the car and see if any of the cv boots are torn and slinging grease.

I know how hard it is sometimes to get this shaft out. I USE A HUGE PRYBAR, AND LEAN INTO IT WHILE IT'S IN THE AIR ON MY LIFT. Sorry about my caps key, I am one handed now but just try the bearing for now, it mat be part of the reason your getting into the final drive and taking that cover off is a no-no. How about filling it with oil at the tagged filler and just putting a bearing in it for now. Ok Let me know if you want to get into the differential before trying. Ok
It may just be the joint your trying to remove that is noisey, and the wheel bearings go bad often.

Good, After 93, Even a 3-speed transaxle made some strange different wheel bearing sounds, nothing like the usual freight train rolling thunder noise. I once put a set of transfer gears in and then a special final drivs gear silencer, only to find that the bearing(felt fine) was noisey, so it is easy to change(4 bolts) but does not sound the same. Your welcome
Imagine a customer brings their car in, only to find that a 200.00 repair was all it needed and you have 4 hours on it with 450.00 parts already. That is why you cannot buy experience, only earn it. Chrysler used to press it in. Real pain to replace. Good luck.

I think this is what you are looking for good luck

SHORT STUB SHAFT OIL SEAL
NOTE:The following procedure can be used to change oil seal without removing transaxle from vehicle or having to reset ring gear backlash and differential bearing rotating torque. If any components except oil seals are replaced, the following procedure cannot be used. Short stub shaft is right stub shaft when viewed from rear of transaxle.

Removal
Raise and support vehicle. Remove passenger's side axle shaft. Place reference marks on differential cover and outer bearing adjuster located near short stub shaft on right side of transaxle for reassembly reference. See Fig.
Remove bolt and lock bracket from outer bearing adjuster. See Fig. Using Socket (6503), rotate outer bearing adjuster slightly counterclockwise.
Using torque wrench, measure amount of torque required to rotate outer bearing adjuster clockwise until reference marks are realigned. Note torque reading for reassembly reference.
Using socket, remove outer bearing adjuster from differential cover. Press oil seal from outer bearing adjuster.

Installation
Press NEW oil seal into outer bearing adjuster. Check for corrosion on short stub shaft. If corrosion is present, wrap short stub shaft with wax paper before installing seal protector.
Install Seal Protector (6591) on short stub shaft. Lubricate seal protector and lip of oil seal with gear oil. Install NEW "O" ring on outer bearing adjuster. Lubricate threads on outer bearing adjuster with gear oil.
Screw outer bearing adjuster into transaxle case until torque reading is 120 INCH lbs. (13.6 N.m) less than torque value obtained in step 4 during removal. Rotate differential assembly several times in both directions to seat bearings.
Tighten outer bearing adjuster until reference marks are aligned. Install lock bracket on outer bearing adjuster. Install and tighten lock bracket bolt to specification.
Remove seal protector and wax paper (if used) from short stub shaft.
Install NEW "C" clip and "O" ring on outer end of short stub shaft. Install axle shaft. Fill differential with Mopar 75W-90 petroleum based hypoid gear lubricant. DO NOT use synthetic gear oil.

During certain conditions, pressure can build up in differential case, causing gear lubricant to blow out of differential vent tube. Manufacturer has introduced an auxiliary vent tube to improve this condition. Vent Tube (05011589AA) connects to new design differential filler plug, located on differential side cover. Vent tube is positioned between ribs on differential cover.

Hi there,

If the axle came out of the transmission there would be a large oil leak, I would say that there is a problem with in the transmission, if you cant select park, you may have a selector problem, you will have to see if the transmission is actually selecting at the box when you move the shifter, start here.

Hi there,

You will only hear a faulty CV when the car is in motion and with the steering on full lock, if you have a noise stationary, I would be getting the mechanic to inspect first.

First of all thank you so much for your donation. Let's start with getting the half shaft out of the hub. If you have to destroy the half shaft then we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Do you have salt and snow on the road's?If so then get some liquid wrench spray it generously into where the half shaft nut goes on. Let it soak in for a good 30 mins then take the half shaft nut screw it onto the threads until the nut sits flush with the end of the shaft. Now with the knuckle attached to the ball joint still smack the end of the shaft with large hammer. Try to hit it straight on. Let me know if it break's loose.

Hi
Removed axle nut and three bolts that hold bearing to spindle? is bearing like destroyed ie. got real hot does not rotate?
Let me know
Thanks for donate

Yeah the bearing and hub is hardened and would be hard to cut with a sawzall. See if you can get a hold of a puller.
That one say's it's only 25 but the otc one's which are stronger are like 50 something. That's probably your best bet aside from replacing the axle joint or the whole axle.
