How do you Replace front axles 97 Ford Aspire?

Answer 1

What you need to do, loosen the axle nut jack up the car, take off both front wheels. Lock the steering wheel so it is straight. Remove the Rack and pinion from the wheel hub. Remove the lower ball joint on the hub. You will prolly need to use a pickle fork and a hammer. once that is done take out the axle nut. and tap on the axle slightly with the hammer it should be going towards the tranny. once you get that as far as possible move the hub out of your way making sure the axle is out of the hub. Then get underneath the tranny take your pickle fork and place it between the tranny and axle and tap on the handle with the hammer making sure it comes out slowly. Once it is out from the splines you can just pull it out the rest of the way. Repeat for the other side
