You have to remove the tire, brake caliper, caliper mount, and rotor. Then remove two bolts that hold the strut to the steering knuckle. Leave one bolt in without the nut. Now you need a large socket that fits the nut on the axle. Remove nut then pull hub assembly off axle spline shaft. Then grab the shaft securely and give it a good hard yank. This calaspses the compression ring on the axle shaft and pulls the shaft free. Check seal and replace if necessary. Install in reverse order. Good luck I hope this solves your problem. Please post a solved comment on fixya, so I receive credit for the solve. This will increase my ranking on fixya.com That is how I get paid. By knowing I am helping someone!!!!
Thanks Daryl! Will try tomorrow.
Listen use a piece of hardwood to drive the alxle out. remove bolt from strut and pull spindle off of shft. PS He is not replacing the wheel bearing, he onlywantd to now how to remove the shaft. Why is it that these solutions I post get other post describing basically the same procedure I give for a solution, go find your own unsolved problems and leave me to the ones I pick. f Horace has problems I will be more thanhappy to expand the tech advice. I try to answer what the person is asking,
Again thanks Daryl. I am having trouble getting the control arm back in place. What should I do?
Did you remove the actual control arm or are you talking about the strut, where it mounts to the steering knuckle ??? Can you take picture that shows where you are at , as far as re assembly is concerned??If so send to [email protected] or post on fixya. I don't know which one is easier for you. Get back to me and we will have this problem fixed, I guarantee it.
I will check back at 4 oclock. Thanks.
Well if you removed the entire control arm, that means you removed the control arm busihings? And the whole control arm is off?
OK. maybe all you have to do is put a jack under the control arm and jack it up till you can put the bolts in the strut. Otherwise a pic of where you are at will really help me to see where you're having problems. You can add an image by clicking the icon in the lower right hand corner of the comments window.
I am so sorry for not getting back but thanks to you all is good. Thanks for all your help.

SOURCE: removing the right intermediate axle shaft
i can only guess it is a 3.0l 4v well as far as the axle goes, the rh outer half shaft seperates at the splines on the intermediate shaft.
the intermediate shaft is the solid shaft from the trans to a bearing support bracket and ends after that. it is externally splined.
the rh axleshaft , inner cv joint, is internally splined.
to remove the rh axleshaft, remove the rh wheel and splash shield.
removed the lower balljoint pichbolt and seperate the lower balljoint front the steering knuckle. take the axle nut off and using a large brass drift or hardwood, drive the axle out of the bearing-hub assembly. DO NOT DAMAGE THE THREADS. also use some lubricant on the axle nut dissasembly. after the outer axle end is free, using the same brass drift or other, hit the inner cv joint and drive it off the intermediate shaft. inspect the splines closely because these fail and cause a no-drive condition.
then the mounint bolts for the support bearing and pull the intermedate shaft out, you will loose some fluid.

If they are sealed bearings, you will need a press to get them out. If they are bolt in, just remove the brake pads/rotors, then the axle nut, then the bolts holding the wheel bearing in. Install in reverse order.

changing pinion seal on 79ford e-250 dana60.are there any cautions or recommendations concerning torque or preload.

There is not really a wheel bearing. It is called a CV Joint. They are pretty difficult to change. If you do try it yourself then you will have to have it re-aligned.

To be very honest, a manual to help guide you thru this process should be obtained due to special tools that will be required for this repair procedure. This is a fairly large job, and I do recommend a manual. We do not have full manuals on this site due to copyright laws.
