How do you change front passenger drive axle on Plymouth Breeze 97?

Answer 1

jack the car up and support the right front side under the body. remove the tire, brake caliper, the abs sensor if any. Next remove the carter pin, remove the spring washer, and then remove the large nut. I think it is 1 1/4 in should do the trick. Next take a punch and center it on the cv shaft and strike it with a hammer to remove the tension on the splines between the cv shaft and rotor drive flang. You will know it worked when you can push in the center shaft where you removed the nut from. Now remove the carter pins form the upper ball joint and the lower ball joint. Now remove the nuts on the outer tire rod end, the upper and lower ball joint. Next separate the tirerod from the knuckle arm and place a jack under the lower control arm to support it. Then separate the upper ball joint and the lower ball joint last. Now you can remove the spindle with the rotor attached from the car. You should be able to pull the cv shaft out without a problem. To assemble just do in reverse.
