Most use a "C" clip or a snap ring that keeps the halfshaft in the transaxle firmly, but will allow the removal of the halfshaft with a little effort.
I hope you have some mechanical ability.You first have to jack up the vehicle.Then take off the tire.Then you have to take off the big nut on the half shaft( in the middle of the rotor).Then take off the bolt for the ball joint(on the back side of wheel spindel).Then used a seperateing for to separate the ball joint from the spindel.Then pry down the ball joint and swing the spindel out of the socket.Then take the end of the half shaft out of the spindel.Then take a pry bar and put it between the half shaft and the tranaxle.It may take some force to break it free.Then take the new axle and insert it into the tranaxle(make sure you feel it click into place.After that it's just a matter of reversing the process.Good luck.Let me know how it goes.Hope that helped

No, the end of the cv shaft is what holds the wheel bearing together.No, the end of the cv shaft is what holds the wheel bearing together.
To change the half shaft seal on a David Brown Cropmaster, first, ensure the tractor is on a level surface and secure it. Remove the wheel and brake drum to access the half shaft. Carefully extract the half shaft from its housing, and then remove the old seal using a suitable tool. Install the new seal, ensuring it is seated properly, reassemble the half shaft, and reattach the wheel and brake drum.
To replace the CV half shaft on an Oldsmobile Bravada, start by lifting the vehicle and securing it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and brake components to access the CV joint. Disconnect the half shaft from the transmission and the wheel hub, then remove the old half shaft. Install the new half shaft by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure before reassembling the brake components and wheel.

A half shaft, also known as a drive shaft or half axle, is a component of a vehicle's drivetrain that transmits power from the differential to the wheels, allowing for movement and enabling the wheels to rotate. The cost of a half shaft can vary widely depending on the make and model of the vehicle, typically ranging from $100 to $500, with additional labor costs for installation if done by a mechanic.
Actually it is impossible to drive with a "busted" CV joint. The half shaft is comprised of a shaft and two CV joints at each end. There are 3 different kind of cv joints, but that's besides the point. The half shaft transfers power from the tranaxle to the wheels. If one goes, the car don't. You probably mean cv boot. The boot is what protects the cv joint from dirt and moisture etc. I have seen a cv joint fail anywhere from a month to a year and a half after seeing a torn boot. It is a gamble to drive like this. The centrifical force of the axle spinning flings the grease out of the joint. The joint goes dry, metal on metal action happens and it self destructs.
You can buy a remanufactured half shaft for less than it would cost to try to fix the old one.
YOu have to remove the brake caliper, rotor, ,take the nut off that holds the shaft, disconnect the strut, and lower control arm to get them out of the way. Loosen the shaft by putting a large screw driver between the transaxle and the half shaft and it should snap out. Replace in reverse order. NOTE: when inserting the new shaft make sure IT SNAPS firmly into place,,,try to pull it out by hand you shouldn't be able to. It's not a real difficult job but get yourself a Haynes Manual at an auto parts store, IT will show you entire procedure.
To replace a half shaft in a 1994 Chrysler LeBaron, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the wheel and brake components to access the half shaft. Disconnect the lower control arm and the CV joint from the transmission, then slide out the old half shaft. Install the new half shaft by reversing the disassembly steps, ensuring all components are properly secured before lowering the vehicle.
