- Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:32 am #240796 i needa remove my pass. axle to replace my torn boot, its shooting grease everywhere, but i think the joint is still good and not damaged( no clicking or whatever) and i dont wanna have to drain the trans. fluids. i was wonder could i just jack up the car on one side very high to get a good enough angle and pull my axles off so the transmission fluids wont spill all over. would this be possible??

- Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:39 am #240797 I think some would still spill out, you've got 1.9 qts of fluid in there. Maybe if you lifted the car up to 45+° angle but that's not safe.

- Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:15 am #241003 just get a 2qt of motor oil and drain it replace the axle then refill the trans

manual trannies dont NEED gear oil, reg motor oil works just fine

- Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:24 am #241006 well so i said fuck it with the boot, and i whipped out my credit card and bought a brand new axle . now are there any special procedure into removing the axle??

i think i needa buy some snap ring pliers for the shaft??
a step by step or a link would be appreciated. i have inspection this sunday and i dont kno if riding with a torn boot will fail me. i dont like the grease shooting everywhere, but no clicking noise yet.

ooh yea and my damn axle nut is a bitch . i put over 300lb of torque. and i got no impact or breaker bar.

i only have a torch and the 32mm axle socket and a wrench and my foot to kick on the wrench, no WD40, or PB blast. im running out of ideas..

- Sat Feb 26, 2011 2:40 am #241009 borrow a breaker bar and a cheater pipe, put the car on the ground when braking the nut lose

and the axle just pops out, put a flat head between the axel and the tranny and pry on it and pull on it and it comes out

- Sat Feb 26, 2011 4:11 am #241014 Yea ii got it on the ground using my jack stands as my wheel chocks, but the car still wants to move a bit, the wheel actually rotates too when on the ground with chocks on it giiving an ass load of torque. I wish I can try the breaker bar.

I did some research and they said to torch it til really hot, then throw ice water on it. Repeat a couple of times.

If all else fails imma just go to a shop and let them knock it out, I got one of those one day pass to drive my car thats unregistered& no license plate on. to go to an inspection station, I hope I pass.
