My axle crapped out on me again. iono how, but i got a life time warranty at oreilly. So i finally got the time to get myself another one. I place the cv axle just far enough to where it lines up and then i hammer it with a rubber mallet at the end of the joint to get the snap ring in. This is the result
 It's pretty far in but is that in enough? before i put tranny fluid in again. I just want to make sure. Thanks. This post has been edited by My2Celi: Dec 16, 2006 - 5:12 PM --------------------  <--- I miss :'' ( |

Can you just slide it back out? When I put in my passenger side, you could feel when it was properly set in place.

Does the rotor and all that assembly go back on fine. If it seems a little tight you can try to tap the end a little, but be careful not to mess up the axle by using a metal hammer. I used a plastic hammer on a board to tap one axle in a little further once.

Did you grease everything up when you put it in? Only thing I can think of with my limited knowledge of axle installation.
