If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

if you hurt 1 axle then other one should still have power to it. If neither of your front wheels even attempts to spin I think your problem is not an axle. I am thinking you may have an issue with torque converter or transmission.
I assume your car revs up but nothing happens right? -------------------- Captain Pessimist

if your axle broke, the other wheel isn't going to pull.
it could be that your cv joint broke. or your clutch is done for. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

They pretty easy to put in, only odd tool you need is for the axle nut. Rest is stardard sockets, and a pry bar. Oh and the fluid to refill the trans =P
