I think i can get an answer out of one of you, im laying my mustang down to rest until i can afford the rest of the engine build and tranny swap. So i am buying a justy for my DD stuff for now, no laughing. this is acctually a pretty cool little car, push button 4x4 and 1.2L 3banger so goo gas milage and ability to go anywhere...hehe. anyway it currently has a bad CV axle driver front to be exact. im mechanically inclined but never delt with cv axles B4 so whats involved in changing it out? and is it somthing i could do with simple tools in someone elses driveway? how long about you think it would take? cuz otherwise i gotta have it towed back to my house and that aint cheep. I ask you guys cuz i have no idea who else to ask and a lot of us are gear heads so help me out! thanks

usually you unbolt the caliper and hang it aside, unbolt the large axle nut, undo the lower ball joint and pull the spindle outwards, put the nut back on loosely and hammer the axle out of the bearing assembly, then the axle usually just pops out of the trans. then reverse to reassemble, if you have a hard time getting the new axle to pop back in, put the nut on the end of the axle, get the axle as straight as you can and tap it with the hammer to pop it in. now this is just a general fwd cv axle installation i know nothing about subaru justys lol.
