Trancebear Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 how hard or what all is involved in replacing a half shaft or cv axle on a 2001 pathy Removing the strut assembly, moving the hub assembly out of the way, figuring out what needs replaced in your drivetrain. Is it clear what is broken/damaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortysmash Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 yeah the cv boot is busted. There is grease all over the wheel well. I know that I could just put a repair boot on it but I dunno how long it has been without grease. Advance has a new cv axle for about 70 bucks. How much of a pain is it to get the axle out of the hub assembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
