I'm looking to remove and replace both front half shaft. ialso need to replace4 my left and right inner ti rod ends. I'm wondering how difficult it would be and any tips on how to do it. Thank You

Axles come out by providing enough clearance to remove the outside spline from the hubs. You can achieve this by doing either of the following. Removing the two strut bolts that go through the top of the knuckle and pulling the knuckle outward or removing the bolts to the lower control arm and sway bar and pulling outward. Then of course is the cotter pin, nut, and washers to remove on the outer axle. And there are three bolts that hold the right axle to a bracket on the engine block. Be careful of your brake lines when tugging on things. The left axle will have to be pried out and tapped back in. I like to use a brass hammer for this so it doesn't damage anything. Inner tie rod ends unscrew but are usually pretty tight. First thing I'd do is measure things to make sure you get your toe in close to where it should be when you put it back together. Break loose the lock nut on the outer tie rod and unscrew the inner tie rod while leaving the outer tie rod in place. Then remove the steering rack boot and unscrew the inner rod. Reassemble and get an alignment done asap.

What's the best way to separate the U joint from the front axle shaft?

I have a 95 cherokee and I'm not quite sure how to go about it

I'm assuming you have the front drive shaft removed from the vehicle and on the shop floor. Take the retaining clip off of one side of the u-joint, using a hammer and a screwdriver. You'll see the clips are on the inside of the caps that are still in the driveshaft, it's just a thin piece of metal that wraps around the cap and has a gap in it for you to put a screwdriver in and tap it off of the cap. Take the driveshaft and prop up the side with the u-joint using a block of wood or anything. You're trying to get the shaft a couple inches above the floor with the side you took the clip off of closest to the floor. Now just take an old socket from a socket wrench set that is a smaller diameter than the end caps. Grab your hammer and put the socket on the end cap and a few good whacks should beat the whole assembly out the other side and you will be able to remove the caps and the u-joint.

i got a 2000 plymouth breeze.and every time i drive i can feel the vibration and i can hear the humming noise from the front as i accelerate to 35 or 40mph.making left and right turns is ok.but only when i increase speed.noise gets a little louder.and i dont see no grease leakage from the front cv boots.how long do these cv boots or cv drive axle(shaft) last and what needs to be replaced?thanks guys.

CV's typically make a clicking noise when turning corners. Your problem is wheel bearings !!!!

I am very good at working on my cars but I am not sure how hard it may be to change the cv axle shaft on a Cavalier and if it may take any special tools and how long should it take to replace it. At this time I just can not efford to take it in to have a mechanic work on it. Thanks!!

i have a 79 jeep cj5 and i need to change out my drivers side front axle shaft and i need new ball joints.?

i cannot get the bolts to the calipers loose to get the brake disc off. ive used WD-40 for a while now, an impact gun and heat. can i just take the ball joints off and get to the axle shaft and then i can kill two birds with one stone?

As long as you can get the axle nut off the axle so you can slide the axle shaft out, then yes you can. You will need to pull the brake line in order to get the hub away from the vehicle far enough to remove the axle shaft........drop the spindle off the ball joints and pull away from vehicle.
