How do you remove and install a half shaft?

To start removing and installing an axle shaft, begin by raising the vehicle and supporting it. Remove the wheel and tire assembly and install a modified boot protector on the outer CV-joint. Thereafter, insert a drift punch into the caliper and rotor to prevent the rotor from turning before undoing the hub nut. Proceed to disconnect the stabilizer link if necessary. The ball joint cotter pin should be removed first then its nut followed by loosening it in relation with knuckle by using an appropriate tool. The ball joint must be separated from this steering knuckle using a prybar afterwards. After, partially install the hub nut for thread protection and remove the axle shaft from the hub with a suitable tool. Move strut and knuckle rearward. Separate the axle shaft from the transaxle using a prybar with a wood block fulcrum to protect the transaxle case. For installation purposes, where applicable you can start by putting on the right side axle shaft. In order to seat, tap until seated into the transaxle is done when installing the axle shaft then the snap ring should be checked whether or not it is seated. Installation of the axle shaft into the hub bearing assembly is next and a new hub nut can be loosely installed. Connect the ball joint in the steering knuckle by tightening its nut. Torque specified ball joint nuts while inserting new cotter pins. Insert a drift punch between the caliper as well as the rotor so that the rotor will be prevented from turning hence tighten the hub nut within specified torque limits. Reinstall (if removed) stabilizer link but now without the boot protector. Remove any installation tools when applicable. Finally, fit back the wheel again plus tire among other things before lowering the vehicle down after completion of all repairs.

These steel shafts include; solid axle for trucks and older models of vehicles as well as the halfshaft for the vehicles with independent suspensions.
