Re: How do I replace a CV axle for a 1992 ford taurus
It's easier to put in a rebuilt axle. The steps are as follows
- Remove the brake caliper, pads, and rotor.
- Remove the axle nut.
- Remove the lower ball joint retaining bolt and separate the ball joint from the steering knuckle.
- Push the splined axle out of the knuckle.
- Then, use a pry bar to pop the axle shaft out of the transmission. Insert the new axle shaft and give it a tap with a hammer to pop the "C" clip into position.
- Then reverse the procedure.
Make sure you only do one side at a time. If you pull both axles, the side gears in the transmission can slip out of place, causing a real headache.
